well, I did motherwort; horehound; sage; oregano; arnica; chamomile; comfrey; calendula; basil; last month.

I picked the leaves off the mint right now I have the mint drying.
My Samsung oven has a dehydrate setting, works great, the convection fan blows.........
I picked all the leaves off the marshmallow,

and laid the wormwood on the deck, so the sun would get on it, and hoping these tiny spider bugs would GO AWAY!!!

To be honest, I like my onion frozen better than dehydrated. The dehydrator can be made into a powder that works. Just personal taste. 😁 Same with green peppers.

Other things -- basil, oregano, mint, etc -- dehydrate!
