When they are dry, the excess soil can be shaken off, then place in a dark and dry place like the cellar. But since we don't have a cellar because our heating system is the radiant floor type, I have a room upstairs that I can use for storage.<br><br>From the link I provided on my post about potato facts, it says,"Handle potatoes like eggs — potatoes will bruise. Get the harvested potatoes out of the light to avoid greening. Select only intact and healthy potatoes for long-term storage. <br><br>Avoid storing diseased or damaged potatoes. Store the harvested potatoes in a cool, moist, dark environment. Ideal storage conditions would be 38 degrees F with 95 percent humidity. As this is not always available, a cool damp basement usual does fairly well, as long as the floor isn’t prone to wetness."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
