I tackled this project in a previous house of ours that only had a crawl space. What I used was fiberglass batts between the floor joists. The paper side of the batts goes towards the warm side, in the case of your cellar the ceiling. The batts can stand a little scrunching to fit snugly, but don't overdo it. It's also recommended that you put nails into the joists and run sturdy string between joists and wrapped around the nails to keep the batts from falling out. Good luck.

I have visqueen(sp) on mine. You need enough to cover the whole space. If you have a 1000 sq. ft. house, you need about 1000 sq. ft (maybe a little more)
