Default How exactly does a small pit dug in the garden help keep milk bottles cool?

Butter coolers of this type were very common at one time. Try your local
church jumble sale to find one.

I used to have a cooler which looked like a 'fridge, it was made of some
kind of plaster like stuff which you soaked in a stream or with a
hosepipe, it would keep milk fresh over a long weekend providing you
kept it watered.
