Juneau Composts

Cool day, HOT compost. 😎

🤣

Scoop and mix. Times one thousand. Times one million? In two weeks time this will all be transformed.

GARLIC: Easy to grow, simple to preserve, & a must-have in the kitchen! Here’s how to make preservative-free, filler-free, anti-caking agent-free garlic powder! You can mix it with salt to have your own garlic salt or toss it in with whatever you’re cooking!

Pickle beets with me! Homegrown in JC compost, of course! 🫜🫜🫜Find full directions and recipe at the National Center for Home Food Preservation website.

Real-time steam. So lucky to witness and participate in the mystery of life every day. 160 degree compost turned on a damp 53 degree day.

Crunchy garlic scape pickles are SO EASY TO MAKE! Fermented and fridge stable so you can enjoy all year long. High brine of 2 1/4 teaspoons salt per cup of unchlorinated water. Add dill, peppers, or no extras at all. P.S. it’ll be time to plant next year’s garlic in just a few weeks! (Mid October)

Always turning compost! (In case you wondered if this account was just a foodie channel 😅)

Juneau doesn’t grow tomatoes well, BUT IT IS BERRY COUNTRY! For several years I’ve eaten nothing but HOMEGROWN, homemade berry ketchup on my burgers and ‘taters. It’s a great way to eat local (and opt out of some corporate yuck). 📖Recipe from the classic Cooking Alaskan recipe book, except I use red and white currents instead of high bush cranberries.
