  1. Thank you, Violet. This is very helpful. I got a book called "Dry it, you'll like it" which is helpful, but was written for solar type dehydrators, even has plans for building one. I like it but don't have confidence yet to know what applies from one method to another.
  2. Last weekend I used my dehydrator for the first time. I dried some pineapple, nectarines, grapes (I blanched them, but they seemed a little weird), bananas, honeydew and cantaloupe melon, strawberries. It was fun to try all those things since I am pretty clueless. I have peaches in now, and it has been about 7hrs, so I will check them. I read that they should not have any droplets of juice when opened and squeezed. The timeframes for stuff is so broad... any tips about knowing when something is "done"? I put the dried fruit in baggies and it is in the frig. Not sure from here... sealer?? Thanks! Cathy
  3. Thank you! I am a friend of Ruth's and interested in this concept. I live in high desert of So California...the gophers have invaded my garden, which is surrounded by hardware cloth that we trenched 15 inches! I'm afraid to plant.....haven't caught him yet...but these bales might be a solution for now. Cathy
