Planning for Loose Tea

     I have purchased a hanging dehydrator to put above my air outside air conditioning heat exchanger. This will allow for hot air to be blown over the herbs, drying them much more quickly than they would dry any other way outside of a solar heater or solar cooker. Drying anything can be tough in Florida, as the humidity on most days is usually greater than 80%. In the past i have had leaves grow mold as they are drying out, which does not make for appetizing fare. I dont even give those leaves to the rabbits! 
     I will have to take some pictures of the dehydrator along with a review of the process. I plan on drying leaves and flowers of my many plants that can contribute to health and wellness, including ginger, loquat, lemon, and tangerine.
     I thonk its both amusing and sad that a lot of the innovations in gardening and herbology that have come out of our recent technology boom have come about because of marijuana products. This dehydrator comes with tiny snips which are obviously for cutting bud. Not that I care about that, they will snip other leaves just fine.
