- 1). Sterilize a 20-gallon trash can or a similar storage container. The container should have a lid and 2 to 3 holes in the bottom for drainage.
- 2). Dig a hole in the ground that is 2 to 4 inches deeper than the storage container and about 1 to 2 inches wider.
- 3). Insert the storage container into the hole in the ground.
- 4). Place a 2- to 3-inch layer of straw on the bottom of the container to protect the turnips.
- 5). Layer your turnips in the container on top of the straw. Add about 1 inch of additional straw on top of the first layer of turnips. Continue layering additional turnips and straw.
- 6). Place the lid on the storage container, but do not secure it tightly. Leave it slightly askew to allow air circulation.
- 7). Pile 1 to 3 feet of straw on top of and around the lid for insulation.
