Radish & Beet Lacto-Ferment

- 3 red meat radishes coarsely grated

- 1 red beet coarsely grated 

- 1 small non-organic onion finely diced

- 1/2 non-organic lemon -- juice & pulp

- 3 slices frozen cucumber chopped

- 1 clove of garlic finely minced

- 1 Tbsp unrefined sea salt

- 1-2 Tbsp. of my #1 cucumber mix as a starter

On the 8th day I added:

- 3 Tbsp of my #2 cucumber mix

On the 9th day I added:

- 4 med. wild apples chopped

- 1 small red beet coursely grated

- 1 red meat radish coursely grated

- 2 slices non-organic onion finely diced

- 1 tsp unrefined sea salt

I mixed everything together, then packed it into 1 liter mason jar and 1 500 ml. jar.  Both packed to just below the shoulder. I left them for 8 days in the cupboard.  However it was clear this wasn't fermenting at all, so I added 1 Tbsp. of my cucumber mix to the small jar and 2 Tbsp. to the large jar, packed them down and left them  in the cupboard for 1 more day.  The next day (the 9th day) I added the other things which filled 2 liter mason jars to the shoulder.  I then left them in the warm cupboard for a week before moving them to the fridge... They were fine - they just fermented VERY slowly...
