They had a picklebarrel that was always in use. Fresh vegetables went in and pickles went out.They would start it with saurkraut and then move on to low acid veges.

I'm going to look for those books, especially the cheapest family one... my goal for 2009 is to see how cheaply I can live and still live well. Love the book reviews!

Right now I have kombucha and kefir brewing in my kitchen. Homemade sauerkraut is super easy and so good for your stomach, digestion, bowels, immunity, etc. The cool thing about lactofermentation is that it adds so much interesting nutrition to the final product.
