I have one full of Garlic Breath that has been in there for 4 months now and its doing good. I dont care  for the window though so I keep it in a dark closet were I keep the jars. The Garlic Breath was cured in my bucket setup but I wanted to try those bags and I needed the room. They say you can vacuum seal the bags but if your going to do that why not use the regular vacuum seal bags?

In my opinion you cant beat the auto setup and you dont have to grow pounds to benefit  from it just use smaller containers, set it and forget it. I do cure a little in jars just because I miss the smell from opening them in the morning
