Preserving the cabbage harvest is no less important than growing it.

After all, this is also quite a difficult task. It is necessary to organize storage correctly so that the heads of cabbage can be stored without problems even until spring.

Late varieties are suitable for long-term storage; they are harvested at the end of summer and the first half of autumn.

There is a folk method for long-term storage of the harvest. It was given a simple name - "the method of two fur coats".

The cabbage needs to be wrapped in two layers and stored in optimal conditions.

The first level is paper. The heads of cabbage are wrapped in it in two or three layers. Then the fruits are wrapped in cling film.

The paper will protect against moisture and prevent mold, and the cling film will prevent drying out.

At temperatures close to zero and high humidity, the harvest will be stored for up to eight months.
