funnily enough i saw this on a tv show the other day that's doing the rounds on UKTV gardens .. they layer the carrots in damp sand in a cylinder made of wood .. it had sections so it could be built up with a layer of sand on the bottom a few carrots smothered in sand and then layered again so on and so forth. storing outside on his allotment he had kept them fresh for a few of months - he snapped one open to show there was still a good quality carrot inside. quite ingenious
