Storing vegetables in an earth cellar
Storing vegetables with the TERRADIX underground cellar – fresh, sustainable, independent
Anyone who harvests a bountiful crop of vegetables from their own garden in autumn faces the question: How do I store my supplies fresh for months without using energy? Refrigerators are limited, electricity is expensive – the solution is as simple as it is proven: the earth cellar.
With the TERRADIX earth cellar, you bring this traditional storage method into your garden in a modern, durable and comfortable design.
What is a ground rent?
An earth clamp is a storage space underground that utilizes the natural coolness and moisture of the soil. For centuries, people have used them to keep their harvest frost-free and fresh. The TERRADIX earth clamp combines this ancient principle with modern technology and high-quality materials.
- 45 liter capacity – ideal for families and hobby gardeners

- Moisture exchange with the soil – ensures a balanced climate and optimal conditions for root vegetables
- Insulated lid – protects against frost and temperature fluctuations
- Sustainable & durable – stainless steel is hygienic, weather-resistant and 100% recyclable.
For which types of vegetables is the earth clamp suitable?

Advantages of an earth cellar in the garden
- Natural cooling – completely without electricity consumption
- Fresh supplies for months – vegetables stay crisp and last longer.
- Pest protection – thanks to a sturdy stainless steel container
- Moisture regulation – through direct contact with the ground
- Space-saving and discreet – the underground cellar disappears into the ground.
- Easy installation – dig a hole, insert the earth cellar, backfill – done!
Pack vegetables into an earth clamp filled with sand
A tried and tested storage method is "sand-covering". This involves embedding the vegetables in layers of damp sand:
- Harvest & prepare: Harvest vegetables carefully, do not wash, just brush off the soil.
- Use sand: Fill the box with slightly damp, clean sand (e.g., play sand).
- Layering vegetables: Alternate layers of sand and vegetables.
- Check moisture levels regularly: Sand must not dry out, re-moisten slightly if necessary – but never too wet.
- Store in a cool and frost-free place: Perfect in the TERRADIX earth clamp.
This combination keeps your vegetables crisp and fresh for many months.
Economic efficiency calculation
Soil rent for self-cultivation vs. Demeter purchase:
The TERRADIX underground mulch system is not only practical but also economical. An example using beetroot demonstrates the potential savings:
- Purchase price TERRADIX ground rent: €99.90
- Filling volume: 45 l corresponds to approx. 30–35 kg of beetroot
- Demeter price: Winter/Spring approx. €4.50/kg
Savings per filling
Winter price (€4.50/kg): 30 kg = €135.00
Amortization: The ground storage tank is paid for with the first filling. Each subsequent use saves money and makes you less dependent on price fluctuations in the market.
