Storage of fresh vegetables

I've sorted all the veg - taking out any damaged ones (mostly potatoes). I'll cook these first along with some damp carrots. The good stuff has been sorted into paper carrier bags in week-size portions. I've put the bags in a plastic dustbin that has the remains of the chopped hay and straw that I used to put in the chicken coop. Its very dry. The bags went on top of the straw and I put some wool insulation on top of the bags to absorb any moisture that might form inside the lid of the bin. The bin is in a wooden shed with a pond liner roof under the oak tree. It doesn't get any direct sun. Fingers crossed this works - after all, those veg cost 8p a bag - about 50p total. That's a lot of money to a moneyless chicken.
