There are many more links on this subject, too.

P.S.  I failed in storing store-bought potatoes last season. In my estimation, the cool dark room I stored them in just was not cool enough.  Hence the idea of a potato cellar to better retard the usual growth of the potato tubers, like to be able to eat them during the cold season.

P.P.S. The garden growing potatoes did grow quite well . I grew them above ground in a big farm type tire with local leaves (mulch size) and Miracle Grow, and the output was much more than I originally planted, which were the traditional potato pieces with an "eye" in them. Now here locally we did have a moist summer, plus I watered them as I thought necessary.
