Ultimate Kimchi. Homemade Fermented Sauerkraut I started making sauerkraut last summer after reading the book Nourishing Traditions. Homemade Fermented Sauerkraut I started making sauerkraut last summer after reading the book Nourishing Traditions.
I read of all the benefits of eating fermented foods and wanted to try this. It was a great learning experience. I had successes but I also had failures. I started reading other books on fermenting foods and started to work to develop a method that worked for me. I don’t have large crocks to ferment food in; you don’t really need these to have success with fermenting. I read and learned of the benefits of lacto fermented food. In order to make lacto fermented foods you will need some whey. You can achieve the same results without the whey by using salt only. I have now had some personal experience to back this up.

Australia Gardeners, Plants and Journals. Pressure Canned 55 pints of Green Beans (Tutorial) Pickling in the Preserving the Harvest group. Graibeard suggested I repost this here.
If any of you guys grow pickling cukes, this is absolutely worth trying. These pickles are to die for. I gave pint’s away in 2008 as part of a gift basket. I canned over 100 pints last year & I’ve been out tor 2 months.

Well, not quite but it is 100 plus acres of undulating ground at Broomfield (Creswick), Victoria. The land is predominately cleared, except for the house paddock which has a notable stand of White (various) Gums and Messmate (Stringybark) trees. The outer paddocks have been used for grazing, hay :-) and most recently some cropping. We’ll stick to the livestock and improve the area with them in mind – a bit of agroforestry with fodder trees being part of the reason… Well, we shall see how it all unfolds.

My one relevant comment then my experiences. Gparted recently started coming with Clonezilla ([gparted.sourceforge.net]), so it can not just mess with partitioning, but also clone disks and make images, kind of like an Acronis live CD. Give an Old Laptop New Life with Cheap (or Free) Projects. SExpand Click to viewLike a famed race horse or a classic book, you don't just throw away a laptop because it's banged up a little.
Even if it seems outdated and underpowered, most any laptop is still small, quiet, and relatively low on power consumption, making it a seriously valuable spare to keep handy—even without a working screen. With some free software, a little know-how, and some creative thinking about your home network, nearly any old laptop can find its second wind, and today I'll run through some of the best ways to get it there.Photo by daveynin.P Create a no-monitor, low-power spare systemP So everything on your laptop runs just fine—except the screen, the most important (and expensive) part. Convert it to a home serverP The idea of a "server" usually conjures images of rack-mounted, temperature-controlled boxes, or at least a desktop system, but a laptop's power-scaling abilities, small size, and built-in screen can actually make for a quietly-great unit.
