I don't know.My suspician is :{{Heat}}: I don't recall any problems with our Root Cellar except in the summer time and not much was stored in it at that time. We always stored Milk etc in the summer time in the Spring House down near the base of one of the hills by the creek. We lived in Taylor County Ky. out in the hills and things were done then much the same as my Anscestors did who came to Ky from Pendleton County W.Va. around 1805.Our Meat was stored in the Smoke House and Milk etc was stored in warm months in the Spring House.
