turnips to taste

Sometimes turnips collected in the garden are dumped in a bunch into the cellar. This is wrong: turnips will quickly curl, or maybe rot. Here it is better to turn to the experience of our ancestors.

The bottom of the tub was sprinkled with dry "sand, a layer of turnip was laid on it, again a layer of sand and again turnip - and so to the top. There must be sand on top. They put the tub in a not very raw and not very dry place so that the turnip does not rot or rot.
