Firstly I cut the bottom out of the pots.
Next I slit up one side.

Had to remove some rocks in an area that I want to clear for planting more fruit trees etc.
And I had some unsolicited help.:cheer:
So I took a few pics of my helper.:chuffed:
There are a million and one things a person can ferment to make just as many different types of food products such as beer, mead, yogurt, pickled vegetables, olives, cheese, etc and many of these great foods can be made at home without any hi-tech pasteurization, heat treating equipment, or...
