Dehydrating

Jan bought us a cheap dehydrator from the internet.   So far we've dried Lemon Verbena, Mint, Basil, Curry Plant leaves and two trays of grape leather!  I think i did it wrong as it's crunchy.  But it tastes fine.

Jan connected a power meter up to the dehydrator to see how much electricity it was using.  We used about 60c to dry the grape leather.  That plus the 2 hours labour picking and then mashing!

and this is why you are going to build a big outdoor solar dehydrator and throw everything in there.

60c is still pretty cheap, (hours not so much). Can't buy much for 60c.
