Cucumber with Melon Lacto-Ferment

- 1 slice from an large organic Asian melon diced

- 2 cucumbers diced

- 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp. unrefined sea salt

This filled a liter mason jar to the shoulder.  I mixed the ingredients together except for the extra salt and let it sit, stirring occasionally until there was enough liquid to cover the veggies.  I then filled the jar (adding a little diced cucumber to fill the jar to the desired level.  Packed the veggies down, then added the extra tsp. of salt on the top, stirring it into the topmost liquid which would have most contact with air. screwed on the lid and put it in the cupboard...  I left this in the cupboard for 3 1/2 days and then moved it to the fridge...  This was one of my very first ferments, and I was uncertain... However, subsequent experiments haven't required the addition of the extra salt on the top...
