Any tips on storing greens? (More specifically, arugula) Mine goes bad after 2-3 days. I store them in an airtight container wrapped in paper towels and they still go bad very fast. Could high humidity be the problem?

I had the problem with collard greens.
I went to a kitchen place or even a grocery store and found a Rubbermaid container especially for fresh greens. has a raised mesh type insert and a vent in the cover
my collards were turning yellow after a week, now they last 3 weeks..
range from 12-16 bucks, comes in 2 sizes..

hope this helps!

What I do is cut the centers/stems out after washing them as soon as I get back from the store. The stems go to the roaches. The leaves get cut into large pieces and put in a quart ziploc with a folded piece of paper towel and go in the fridge. They stay pretty fresh this way for a month in most cases.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
