    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!

    The best thing that I found to keep slugs away is to put crushed egg shells around the base of the plant, or coper wire around the area of the plant. It works really well. I haven't had any more problems with slugs anymore.

    I make Kimche with green cabbage, carrots, green and any color of peppers, daikon radish but I think just about any kind of radishes would do, and onion. I also make whole cabbage kraut for making sarmas. Yes, we have slugs and cabbage moths too. Sprinkling a little all purpose flour seems to keep them back a little.

    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.

    Eve, I could listen to you about your life on a homestead for hours. This took me back 60 years! My grandmother was a wonderful canning, curing, preserving woman. She was born in 1885. Raised her 5 boys on a big farm. They retired to town but she kept living like a pioneering woman. I'd help her making cabbage every fall. She had a crock just like yours. But she had a precious very large flat stone she wrapped in cheese cloth. It fermented on her back porch. I snitched a handful every evening when I left. She told my dad by the time it was ready about a lb.was always gone, with a happy chuckle. She was tickled i loved her delicious kraut at every stage. Thanks for seeing a young woman carrying on the tradition ❤

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    Very nice garden. I use to have a slug problems. Now I use crushed egg shells. I spread them throughout my garden . The irregular edges of the egg shells prevent the slugs from getting in. Another great way to get rid of them is to place at ground level beer bottles with some beer left in the bottles. The slugs smell this and will go down into the beer and drown. Soapy water sprayed on the leaves of your veggies will also help deter those bugs who eat them. I hope this will help you as it has done for me.

    Let your chickens graze in your garden to eat the bugs. Put a pan of beer down for the slugs. I use a small pie pan. Guinea hens are noisy but work great on garden bugs. 🤗
