Hello!

Looking for some information on low-cost coolers for produce or cut flowers,
specifically unconventional "homemade" units. I have several examples using
old root cellars, parts salvaged from conventional coolers and used A/C units.

Anyone else experimented with this or know of someone who has? What kind of
cost and labor was involved? Are the coolers efficient/productive?

Thank you!
Lisa
