A neighbor brought me an 8.5 lb cabbage. I made a lot of cabbage but forgot to put the second batch in the fridge. Left it overnight. So we wouldn't eat it. I left it sitting for a while and finally put out for them. Not a speck left. I still have the core, I was going to hang it...
In fact today a added another 5 gallon bucket to the mix. I put 3 c or so of old mix into new water and stirred and added layer, boss, about 1/4 of it scratch and some azomite (rock dust) to get extra minerals. Got it ready and sitting. I'll be using it in a day or three. Then I'll start...

I love your mix. Tell me about the koi food. I was checking on it and wondered how much to put in a 5 gallon fermented feed. Got any ideas. How much do you put in your Mama's mix
Glad to have you on the forum. Let's face it. Chickens are carnivores. They love meat. It's always been given to them. They just stopped putting it in the feeds to be sure no Mad Cow disease was introduced. I give my babies a lot of leftovers with pasta veggies and meat. Usually cooked...
Not creepy. They are carnivores and eat any and all meat. Cooked for not. I mix a small bit of raw hamburger meat into the fermented feed that I give my 15 8 week olds. They get extra protein and love it. Tonight for supper they got chopped up cooked chicken, beef, scrambled eggs and...
