The article offers tips on drying garden herbs, fruits and vegetables. When dried, they require little space, and no electricity, to store, so you can enjoy it throughout fall and winter.

Putting the goods back into the dehydrator for an hour or two will fix the problem, making it possible to store the food at cool temperatures for up to a year.
