You have me very interested in doing this type of preserving! My dad buys salted kippers occasionally and soaks them in milk for a few hours before eating. He said my Swedish grandmother (his mom) did this when he was growing up, to leach out the excess salt. I have to say they are delicious! Thanks again for the great review on this intriguing book.

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.

In Texas I'm not sure it would not be an option unless you wanted to bury the vegetables quite deep. I would imagine keeping produce in the ground would depend on your region.

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.
