Being able to store excess fruit and vegetables when you have your own allotment or kitchen garden, means you can enjoy home grown produce all year round. Knowing the correct way to store fruit and vegetables so that they remain healthy is important. The most important factor is that they are kept somewhere cool, where air is able to circulate thoroughly around the produce - this is why using ,storage racks and shelves that have slatted levels are ideal. Wooden, slatted trays are also good for storage of smaller quantities - they are perfect for keeping small quantities of apples - these should be wrapped individually in greaseproof paper first.
Safe and organised storage of all your tools, seed trays, plant pots and other gardening equipment will also release valuable growing room as well as prevent damage and accidents.
