Bought a dehydrator a few weeks ago. First thing I tried was drying basil as I have an abundance of it growing in my hydroponic unit. As fast as I cut it back, it grows like a weed again. Drying it by hanging it up was taking too long. The basil I've got is a continental one with large leaves and has a wonderful flavour. Come this weekend I'll have to dry some more of it as the plant is taking over the hydroponic unit again.
