BROOKS B's suggestion of planting Rooted Rosa Rugosa is a timely and practical suggestion.
My question is -- how does one put -- bottles of 1000 mg Vitamin C into store?? -- I ask the followint questions -- meant to be a "short er term" option. Vitamin C tablets and Powder obviously has a LIMITED SHELF LIFE. What might be the best way TO EXTEND THIS SHELF LIFE? Can one extend the SHELF LIFE? 1) Does one use VACUUM packing? 2) Use a CANNING PROCESS? 3 What is the practical Shelf Life of say, Vitamin C? These question are meant to be food for thought!!! Listers -- put on your thinking caps!! The questions apply to other vitamins etc etc. ïïïïïïï HERE IS THE REAL QUESTION: Why should the average vitamin manufacturer object to CODEX?? They will simply comply en masse without a murmur -- formulating the smaller/less milligram pill/s as the new law will demand. AND . . . they'll all make lots more money!! You watch, they 'll ALL make more money for putting LESS into the formulations!! So let's not kid ourselves -- when did you see a product get really cheaper when reformulated?? So start preparing yourself. The poorer people of Europe before and during the two world wars used large earthen jars to marinate vegetables -- cabbage, cucumbers etc in their cellars. This got them thru the long winters without scurvy etc. My German mother and her older sister related these practices to me. I must add my mother actually hated marinated cabbage, having been forced to eat this type of fare -- growing up before WWII and being forced to continue marinating and eating the results during the war in Germany. I can remember after emmigrating to Australia in 1949 at the age of 5, my family were placed on a lare acreage sheep farm as their first employment. I can still see the farm manager wheel in half a sheep and hang it up in a large wire meat safe -- for our consumtion. We had never seen so much meat -- especially so much at our personal disposal. With all the other produce, we though we were in heaven!! in SILvation, Douglas H
