Grown productsgardeners are stored in cellars or basements. However, the cellar is still better, since the basement in its characteristics is inferior to the cellage. In particular, it is not always possible to keep the temperature close to zero consistently. 
Simpled the glacier usually do From a wooden box, in the middle of which a metal tank is installed. The gap between the tank and the walls of the drawer (60-80 mm) is thermally insulated: filled with wood sawdust, mineral wool, clay, polystyrene foam crumb. Inside the walls of the box, around the tank, laying slices of ice, which on top of the sides are protected by a polyethylene film. The ice is better to use sawn (for example, get on the river), but it is possible and brushing large pieces.
The task can be simplified: instead of ice to lay plastic bottles with well-frozen water around the tank filled with 8/10 volumes. It is very convenient that the water formed during the melting of ice will remain in bottles, and it will not need to get it anywhere. Ice in 2-liter bottles pulls about 4 days (although it depends on how well the glacier is insulated). When water is melting, it is enough to remove the bottles of the box, replace them with bottles with frozen water during this time, and to put it on the frost used.
Mold on the walls of the apartment, as well as on the walls of the country house - has always been a problem of any good owner. In the glacier, this vegetation can also form. So that the glacier worked properly, it needs to be protected from the Sun. The door to the basement should always be closed so that less heated air falls into warm weather. It is advisable to make a canopy over the entrance to block the path of the sunshine. A thick shrubs planted near the entrance will also protect the entrance and prevent the penetration of heat into the basement. In general, in the old days, the owners always attached the cellar by shrub - he "pulled out" and "evaporated" from the ground moisture, and there was always dry in the cellar.
It is interesting
The only lack of bottle ice is the absence between the icy "body and contact products. If the ice, melting, settles on the bottom, and the products are automatically lowered into the zero temperature zone, then the bottle, thawing, keeps its dimensions, and the products at their level remain, from ice away and more.
