Preparation

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
Remove several cups of the veggies and transfer to a blender or VitaMix. Blend, adding filtered water to make a thick juice or "brine" the consistency. Add the EcoBloom and Culture Starter, mixing well.
Add brine back into vegetable mixture. Stir well.
In a sterilized 1½ quart glass or stainless steel container, pack veggie mixture, using a potato masher to pack veggies tightly.
Fill container almost full, leaving 2 inches of room at the top for veggies to expand.
Roll up a few cabbage leaves into a tight "log" and place them on top to fill the remaining space. Clamp jar closed or screw on the air tight lid.
Let veggies ferment at a 70-degree room temperature for at least three days or a week.
