would now like to store whole apples too.

Apple storage racks are extremely expensive.

Does anyone know where you can get:

1. cheap stackable (breathable) boxes or similar for storing one
layer of apples in?
and
2. card storage cells (fan out from flat to have one hole per

apple,
to prevent neighbouring apples rotting each other)?

Have done a web search and found nothing!


Any supermarket should be glad to give you their empty trays: just
ask if you can have a word with the produce manager.
