    I don't know if it's on purpose or not, but I appreciate the fact that you show a realistic view of your experience on a homestead. I feel like the last frontier show emphasized the ruggedness or drama of a homestead, but you all show a realistic view, with electricity and mobile phones, etc. Makes it much more approachable and entertaining. Thanks!

    I have a 20 Litre fermentation crock made in Poland. I've been making kraut for about 15 years know. About 3 years ago, I bought a 5 litre crock. I use it to experiment with different vegetable combinations. I ferment almost exclusively for 28 days. Then place the fermented foods in ball jars and refrigerate. It's been super fun.

      @@betbaker3479 We know about most of the methods, many have been tried some work well up until the point that it rains. We get so much rain here that most of the various different powders and traps don't work after Alaska's heavy rains. And we also like staying as organic as possible so we don't like some of the more chemical options

    Hi guys, Sam from Halifax I haven’t really tried sauerkraut but eve to see you make it. I think I’m gonna give it a try again, but the store stuff is probably not as good as your homemade Eiven I said this before to see how good you recovered from the fall, and you have pretty sure few screws and maybe plates but you’re still doing everything and my health isn’t the best. I’ve had three hip replacements with a rare bone disease but Eiven watching you lately has pushed me out of the hole. I was going down in I’m a little older than you, but you have showed me no matter what don’t give up and I can still try to do some of the things that you and your family do I can still try to do even though my children are a little older so thank you. but still you and Eve and your dad and family I believe her very good role models so please take care and be safe

    This brought back some sweet memories. My mother and great grandmother used to make sauerkraut in crock jars. We weighed it down with plates and quart canning jars filled with water. We covered the top with cheese cloth held in place with a large rubber band. When we were having kraut for meals Mom would send me to the root cellar with a serving bowl and spoon to scoop some out.

    Slugs are always a problem in most climates and there’s many many various solutions to stop them and all depends on the individual views tackling the issue, a very popular one with many gardeners is beer traps. They get a small bucket fill it 1/4-1/3 full with the cheapest supermarket beer available and put the buckets several meters approx 10-15 away from the edge of the garden in the corners ( some put a lid on with a hole in the middle to stop any climbing out or too much rain entering or to keep it pet safe) the slugs love beer more than veg crawl in the bucket get drunk and meet their demise, scoop out the dead slugs every 3-4 days ( keep an old slotted spoon for this call it the garden one) and change the beer once a week eventually you vastly reduce the slug population but also your veg is safe in the meantime

    Eve try putting cups of beer in and around your cabbage plants. The slugs are attracted to it and then they drowned in the cup. Just cut the bottom off of pop bottles about 3" tall. Put several out with 1'1/2" of beer. Works wonders.

    I’m still watching this video so you may address this; have you ever made kraut out of turnips? I haven’t made any for a few years but I found that I liked the turnip kraut better. You make it exactly like you do with cabbage. It’s more tender as well so it’s good for someone who may have trouble chewing their food.

    Have you tried using diatomaceous earth. It works wonders keeping all kinds of bugs away. However, if it rains you will need to reapply. You can also make beer traps. Alternatively, you can grow lavender near your plants because they don't like the smell of lavender 🪻.
