In the winter, when I have a recipe that calls for fresh herbs, I buy them from the grocery store and I always can't use it all. I take what ever I have left over, tie a cotton string around the stalk and hang it in my utility room from a water pipe and forget about it. Eventually dries out and then I put it in a plastic refrigerator bag and just ruff it up until the leaves are all crushed up. Pull out the sticks and your ready to go. Never buy dry.
I've been using the air fryer/dehydrator mode. Works beautifully and quickly.
Thats great

Such a helpful and interesting video! The refuse (such as the woody stems of basil, etc) and even the burnt basil - can they be used as Compost?
Nice garden sir

Gary have you ever heard of freezing herbs by laying leaves on parchment paper and wrapping in foil and then use as needed? Is that okay?
enjoyed your video I like your jars with the corks where did you get those
I always look for them a thrift stores.
Do you have a recommendation for any specific kind of high nitrogen fertilizer? Also how long did you keep your herbs in the oven? How many hours before they can be considered "ready" and still have the natural oils in them?
I like fish emulsion for organic. Any chemical type works too for emergency treatments. TIme drying varies greatly. Check on them every 30 minutes or so after about 1 hour. Youll feel when they are done.
Hi Gary...What are those red metal stands you have holding the tiered wood boards for the plant shelving?....Do you have a link for those?....Those are nice plant shelves!...Thanks for the video...Learned a lot.
That's from shirleys simple shelving. A link is in all my video descriptions. Thanks for watching.
@Gary Pilarchik If basil goes to seed is it salvageable. Can I propagate from it or will it always have the bitter flavor. I always pinch off the seed tops but I’m not sure if it tastes how it’s supposed to taste. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
No you can propagate it often in water. And you can sometimes cut it back a few inches above the ground and it grows back nicely. I find temperatures have a lot to do with whether or not it works.

How is the flavor on the dried chives and mint? I know oregano gets a stronger flavor when dried, rosemary, thyme and sage keep a lot of their flavor too. Basil and mint seems to lose its flavor for me when dried, but I might give it another shot this year.
Basil I usually freeze in oil in ice cube trays. It has a better flavor.
Chives are always delicious. I agree with all you wrote. Basil might be best air dried as would mint. The mint oil seems to permeate the house even at low temps.
Thanks for the response! I will have to try dried chives and mint. You are a big inspiration for my gardening channel, I even gave you a shout out the other day :)
I agree with Gary on air drying mint. An easy method I heard is to put your fresh mint in a paper bag then fold the top over, put a clip on, and then leave it in the back seat of your car. :) It's dark and warm, good enviro for dehydrating. Also paper bag absorbs moisture too.
For basil, I heard that freezing in oil in ice cube trays is the best.
Or you can preserve them in salt as well.
In a clean DRY jar, use fine sea salt, canning salt or Himalayan salt. Place a thin layer of salt on the bottom and make a layer of basil one leaf thick and out the width of the container. Do a sprinkle of salt on top of that basil and layer basil 1 leaf thick again and repeat. Once you get to about 1.5" from top just top the jar off with salt. Give it a jiggle to get salt down into any airspace. Be good for 6mo+ longer in fridge.
Another way with salt is to do 4:1 ratio Basil to salt and pulse in food processor or blender till well mixed. Store in jar in the fridge for up to 6mo.
Got the salt preserving method from the Homesteading Family youtube channel.
The air drying I got from the OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY youtube channel. :) Both great for prepper info!
Gary's channel I watch for all things garden
Please I need to know if thejm.needs a lot of water or not because every time I have them they die I thinkay be.because I give them too much water
Well if the pots drain, it is hard to over water. I would have to know more on how you are growing and feeding them.
How would u dry Rosemary?
Cut and hang.
Excellent video. STrangely I have a dehydrator I got form aldi I have never used that would do well for drying herbs Lol. I have a pineapple sage (I got it for the hummingbirds, the flowers are gorgeous). I guess I can cut that back too? Yours is the common sage. It doesn't look like it will bloom this year. Going to cut bee balm back. It's falling over but not blooming in year 1 seemingly. (got it for the bees).
I just put a new round of beebalm out this year. Bees do love it.
I've decided not to grow bee balm next year. I have a couple of different varieties but am plagued with powdery mildew :(
How do you store and use your dried herbs?
Mason jars or ziplock bags.
Wonder do you wash ur herbs before you dried it?
I don't as I dont spray them with anything.

What temperature to dry herbs? My microwave got only for 100 celcius and above
Well I would use a microwave. Oven heat or a dehydrator. Usually stays around 120-150 F. I have to crack my oven on lowest setting.
Please visit my seed and garden shop at www.therustedgarden.com for all your seeds, seed starting supplies and organic oils. Thanks!
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN oh i see, i over burn my leaves 😅 maybe i buy other heater. Thanks btw. I do love your garden design, think about idea.
How do I dry in a dehydrator?
Each dehydrator will have instructions

I see you painted the metal parts of your shelves. Did the wife complain about the rusty look? =)
That is a different set actually!
I dry at 105 but ovens usually don't go that low.
Lower is better

What's the oven temperature?
Should be about 120 F dont go past 170F. You want it warm to dry but not too warm as in evaporating out oils.
