Modern life is much too sterile, very important to cultivate a complex microbiome.

There's a whole movement for years now of DIY fecal transplants, traditional Western "scientific" medicine is just way too bureaucratic and slow.

Avoid antibiotics like the plague.

I never had pickled watermelon rind, but I'm sure willing to throw some in the crock. 

Oh, and pickled okra, and pickled asparagus, and pickled little Brussel's sprouts, wonder if those would work?

My kids and I call pickled okra cowboy pickles because you bite the end off where it connected to the plant and set it down.  It looks like a little cowboy hat.  For the watermelon rind, scrape all the pink off the inside surface, slice it up like big thick french fries and then peel the dark green off the outside surface with a potato peeler.  Pop em in the juice for as long as you want them to pickle.  mmmm mmmm mmmmmmm

Way different. Fermentation is microbes feasting on sugars, the salt in brining liquid retards spoilage. Rotten is bad bacteria overtakes everything. 
The battle between good and bad bacteria, one keeps you healthy, one kills you dead.

Antibiotics are very hard to avoid especially when we eat meat and poultry that isn't grain fed, plus all milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, butter and milk products have residue antibiotics in them.

Ok, I got some Napa cabbage, carrots, red onion, and sliced ginger in the crock. I'll let you know what happens.

How did it turn out? I'm currently gobbling up some carrots, broccoli stems, red onions and radishes - delish! I am also drinking up some fermented persimmon soda and tepache. Got some pineapple vinegar brewing and some kombucha. Also have a tiny batch of kimchi fermenting that was just from re-filling the jar with what I had on hand.

I am also on a fermentation kick for the same reasons as you. I spent years on antibiotics and am trying to undo the damage.

Looking forward to more posts on this topic! Big Grin

Just stumbled on this that may be of interest: Tara Whitsitt has a projact called "Fermentation on Wheels" where she drives around in a school bus/fermentation lab to educate people on the processes.

Her website here: http://www.fermentationonwheels.com/

And a video about her:

Ok, I just gave my Ball jars to Goodwill. There's an ewww factor I can't get over yet. Can't "stomach", pun intended, the idea of actually eating what I've fermented.

I have some lemons fermenting on the counter now, they've been there a month. Don't know what to do with them.
