    Storing jars of food.

    That's the way I'm doing it but was hoping someone has some clever way to do it. I looked at the can rotators but I don't want to turn the jars on their side.

    Storing jars of food.

    There are several nice ideas for making rotators for store bought cans. Anyone have a way to store and easily rotate home canned food?

    Stale water isn't a problem. You can pour it back and forth between two containers to aerate it to taste better. Once every 6 months we use it to water our trees and then refill it. When the power goes out I hook the rabbits mister hose to it to help keep them cool. The size of the tanks...

    Thats my hope too. Food is one thing, but no one knows we have more than a horse trough of water which is the big problem out here. I bought several large tanks and brought them in late so it was dark. Hopefully no one paid attention since it was the same shape as a pallet of horse feed that...
