How Do I Build a Potato Bin?

Potatoes are a popular staple food in many areas around the world. The root of the plant is the edible potato. These roots are still living up until the time they are prepared for cooking. Potatoes must be kept in a dark, well-ventilated space to prevent the fragile roots from rotting or becoming damaged before you are ready to cook them. A potato storage bin can be made as complex as you want, or, as simple as it needs to be.
