Just wondering about a project that I'm undertaking soon. I'm wanting to build a root cellar with some concrete cinder blocks with poured concrete in between them. Plans are to dig out by hand the side of a hill in an area of my woods to do this. After I get the hillside dug, I plan on pouring a concrete floor so that it would be eaiser to keep clean instead of a dirt floor.
My questions and thoughts. First, wouldn't a floor with poured concrete be "hotter" whereas a cold earth floor would be "cooler" or would this even matter? Every root cellar that I have seen had only dirt floors and it was always cool in the area.
