can these be used in a small room (i.e we store hundreds of lbs of tomatoes in a small closed room in harvest time)?

Hi Margo, I am always looking for ways to keep my produce fresh. I buy all organic fresh vegetables and fruit and will try any products that would seem to preserve them. This one...not so much. Good luck!

I doubt it. They are for a vegetable crisper in an icebox and not much else.

Hi, As far as I know you can use them with container tomatoes as well as garden. If you fear they are too strong just use less of them. The most important thing to do is keep them well watered and shake them to help them pollinate as they are a self pollinating plant as well as feeding them.

I don't see why not? Though, if you are storing it for a long while you might want to think about something that is completely air tight. I use these for wine and they keep the bottle fresh for a few days at most.

Not really. They are intended to use on storing something long term. You would be wasting it by opening daily.

You probably could, but I wouldn't recommend it. The bags can get wet and line dry well, but I don't know how clean the produce would get enclosed in the bags.

I wouldn't do that. I would recommend storing them in a more climate-controlled environment-- a storage shed, or a garage, where the tempurature isn't going to fluctuate so much from season to season. Just to be safe!

I only use them for dry goods but I don't see why you can't use them for that. :)

Yea they can. Been using the unit a lot and I foresee no issue with using it with out the shelves. They are just there for a convenience factor.

Probably not, if you are thinking of canned goods on all the shelves. Fine for crackers, some dishes, and other things that dont weigh a ton. I use it as a bathroom cabinet, and the shelves do bear a fair amount of weight.

Yes they can but "ledge" is minimal. Would not due to keep small things on shelf due to.shelf construction.

Yes, if their diameter is less than 3-7/8". However, the back end of the rack is not directly supported and would probably sag over time given the weight of those vegetables, unless you were to support the back end by using a short screw to hold it up against the supporting shelf. That would make the rack a little harder to slide onto and off of the shelf, if that is your intention (i.e., rotating the items to use the oldest first).

Certainly, provided you can keep them still for a few seconds. Depending on their sizes you may wish to put them in a basket or something comfortable, of known weight.

It would work, but I think the small refrigerator would probably be better. The small refrigerator is a little bit larger and would allow for more items.

I am only using them for dry storage, but don't know why you couldn't use it for cold items.

I use them for that purpose too, but it depends on the requirements of the plant. Look up the recommended balance of nutrients and if they are in line with with a 4-4-4 plant food then they will work.

I am sure lettuces would be fine. I do not think tomato plants would be happy here. Probably not green beans either. The beans would need something to grow up on and in this they would just hang down onto the ground and block access to rows behind them. Not enough room here for tomato root structure and the plants would stick straight out and then that weight would likely pull plants right out of their soil. Top shelf does work for a little taller plant because it can grow straight upward.

You could if you reinforce the shelving. What they give you is rather flimsy plus I plan to use Christmas lights or heat lamp to keep them warm.
