I am very concerned about running out of canning lids myself. Salting is a good idea. Now i have been thinking about the salt situation... any thoughts on storing salt? The large cow type blocks sure stack easy and keep really well if they stay out of humidity... any chance these can be bought iodized?

Because at some point, no matter your stockpile, you are going to run out of lids. Right?

It seems to me that - once you are out of lids, or your rubber gaskets have deteriorated beyond use - you are out of the canning business, and you must dry, salt, pickle or find some other way to preserve your food. Is that pretty much the consensus, or is there another way that i am not aware of? I don't believe you can refurbish the disposable lids (hence the name )... does anybody know differently?

Fertilizing with urine Urine is a high quality, low-cost alternative to commercial fertilizers. It is especially rich in nitrogen and also contains substantial amounts of phosphorus and potassium. The fertilizing effect is rapid and the nutrients are best utilized if the urine is applied prior to sowing and up until two-thirds of the period between sowing and harvest. It can be applied pure or diluted. To avoid odour, foliar burns and the loss of ammonia, the urine should be applied close to the soil and incorporated into the soil as soon as possible.
