Noticed two chicken sized holes in the ground about a week ago, and i collected my first egg not half a foot from them.
I'm wondering are they digging nests, or was it a coincidence that the egg was nearby?
I'm going to spruce up the nesting boxes a bit, and hopefully she'll come around.
Just...
I've never had much an issue with smell either, but I normally use a regular mouth jar loosely covered, and for kraut I normally keep it in a cabinet since I let it ferment for a few weeks at a time. The opening to this crock being more than a foot in diameter is what had me a little concerned...
I meant just to cover the top of it, to keep the mold down, bugs out, restrict airflow, keep the smell down, etc. :P
I know to keep everything submerged, I was just trying to figure out what would work best to cover it.
Thanks.
Think the lid to my water bath canner would work? I wouldn't think it would react or have any adverse effects since the metal wouldn't be submerged.
Thanks a ton!
Wasn't sure where to put this.
I recently found an antique stoneware open crock that I still have to clean up and seal a small fine-hair crack on, but I'm really stoked about using it for fermentation instead of mason jars.
Only problem is I'm not sure how to go about it!
I know how to...
