The Modern Homesteading Podcast
Society & Culture:Personal Journals
Today is Day 18 of our 30 days of homesteading Q&A on the podcast where I have reached out to some of the best bloggers and podcasters in the homesteading space to answer your questions about homesteading.
Today’s question is “Why is it not safe to water bath can my vegetables? I was told if they went bad I would be able to tell. Is this true or do I need to pressure can?”
Back to answer today’s question is Jo Rellime from Homestead Chronicles.
