Preserving Your Harvest

I've been making distilled water all day.
My husband needs it for his CPAP breathing machine, and I need it for incubators & plants.
I've been having a heck of a time finding distilled water at the store, so my husband let me buy a distilled water machine for $100.

It is weird! I need distilled water for my humidifier, and supply has been wonky this year. It’s now $1.89 a gallon! So we don’t run it as much as we should. So frustrating. Glad you found a solution!

I need lots of lids... again. I'm sick of spending $0.20+ per lid. I'm going to start looking for bulk options now so I have lids come summer and fall when I use the most.

I got 175 wide mouth lids from this place. Not a single failure to seal, so far.

It looks like they're out of stock now... all of them. Wow, I guess I was ahead of the game on that one.

I looked on Amazon too. Still just not sure I only use for the incubator.

I haven’t tried them (or seen them yet) and am a little skeptical, but I did come across a video of a canning lady that tried out a pack of canning lids from Dollar Tree and they worked for her.

Did you buy the generic ones? Last time I came across these the review were 2-3 star for them.

Yes, the generic gold colored ones. 288 for $88.70 now; I think they were about $75 when I got them.

Good to know. The "generic" ones from fillmore are the 175 sleeves $30-$40 now. Those are the ones known to fail.
