Much better detail here: -

And as an example of how effective it can be, how does 337 pounds of potatoes sound? Details in the following video: -

The YouTube channel where that video is from is definitely worth browsing, they explore some questions we typically don't think of, such as, can you eat grass, how to make a root cellar out of an old chest freezer and so on.
that's a good idea for the options, and I can use the Youtube video as inspiration for their instructions.
