Here's what I do. I have 1/2 glass ball jars and I cut dill (I use the leaves-fern from the plants and fill the jar as full as it will go with dill. Next, I pour 5% acidity vinegar in the jar to fill the jar with-in about 1/2 inch from the top. I screw a lid and band on the jar leave it setting on the cabinet until I have cucumbers to pickle. This may not be an approved method, but that is what I do. I have never had any problems. When you start making pickles, some the dill and the vinegar in the jar to make your pickles and then refill the jar with vinegar.
