Thank you for the information. I do grow and dry my own herbs every year. For a while, I was drying them in an extra room by hanging them upside-down from strings tied from the ceiling. It was a little time consuming and messy. (Bits of the herb would fall to the floor as they dried.) Then I was in a second hand store, and I came across a dehydrator for $5. Let me tell you, that was one of the best $5 I have ever spent! If anyone is serious about drying herbs, I would definately sugest one.It is wonderful.:lol:

Dear Rose, it is very practical information that you gave to us about herbs on your blog. Because many of us, use one of thoses methods without knowing well, wich one is much better.
As you’ve been playing with herbs much more longer than any of us, thoses tips come very handy for sure. Myself also have try many of theses method without knowing so much about it, I use to dry my herbs on a paper bag and on a room that have a lot of sun, but it’s ok but not that fast. Thank to you, you light up on this subject for me.
Brightest Blessing.
