Hi Pete, the thread was from myself and is located here:

I will be growing carrots for winter storage this year so will try leaving some in the soil with insulation, some in a sack and maybe some in compost in a box. I have now erected additional shelving in my gararge which will make winter storage that bit easier. Best of luck with yours.
