Dig a hole a couple of feet deep... the dimensions of a "mini-coffin" for a good-quality cooler... you know, the one you kept the beer in all summer. The old way was t line it with several inches of straw, but the cooler's insulation will do that, and the cooler itself will keep out vermin. Line the cooler with brown craft paper, and layer the bulbs so they don't touch each other, etc., you know the routine. Cover the cooler with something like an old rug. Cover that with a tarp whose edges will stick up beyond the original lever and back the dirt. Whenever you need to get back into the cooler, just pull back the corners of the tarp. Like my grandparents potatoes, the bulbs will have gotten a very good chill without freezing. You can google the instructions ... look under "root cellars." Or if you have any old, nostalgic, hippy friends, ask for their back copies of "Mother Earth News." Just an idea.
