I remember my Dad also used to build a clamp to store the potatoes overwinter. He grew enough to keep a family of 7 kids fed, and they'd last well into the spring. He grew loads of stuff, and we were all expected to help with planting and harvesting. I didn't think much of it then, but it's stood me in good stead through the years, and obviously didn't put me off 'grow your own'. He did have a lot more space though!
