Hi, Can anyone suggest a drying technique for veggies/fruits...sort of a racking system which requires no electricity? Anyone had any success with drying a medium/large harvest using a homemade design? Thank you.

I was having a problem with worms and sprayed on soapy water as recommended by my neighbor. Think that will work, or is there another natural remedy? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 436302 put some sand on top. worms dont like to go on the sand .

Many say to inter-plant grapes with blackberries so the leaf hoppers are kept at bay from grapes.

Sure every post I have mentions goat blood...How do you think we get plasma tv's?

Organic needs are being assaulted. I'm not amused by this & encourage all to grow heirloom seed for themselves.

Here are a couple of ideas...but I haven't tried them myself so I can't make any claims.

This is a pdf with instructions on how to construct a simple solar food dryer:

Another dryer...more complicated but made of cardboard:

This one is very similar to the cardboard one above, but sturdier:

This is the cardboard dehydrator, but with more in-depth instructions on how to handle the food before and after drying:

I have an ancient electric food dehydrator that I'm using at the present, but Hubby and I have discussed the need for a solar unit. I think having one is a very wise investment.

I'm going to try sun-dried tomatoes and raisins. Nothing fancy, just layered on screening to keep out the bugs and put out in the Arizona sun and wind. Talk about re-inventing the wheel! Hmm, I've got TONS of green beans, wonder if they are ok to dehydrate?

And I lost this year's grape crop. In April or so we had three days of really high winds, 50MPH gusts. I didn't go out. BIG MISTAKE! The winds dried the grape plants, then we were hit with a night freeze.

My beautiful newly-leafed grapes went bye-bye. Lesson learned: KEEP GRAPES WATERED IN HIGH WINDS.

They've recovered, but all the last-year's new branches or whatever you call them just flat DIED from the wind and freeze, so no grapes this summer.

AH, BUT WAIT 'TIL NEXT YEAR!

Quoting: Anka

I screwed up again. Started watering grapes, trees and strawberries way too early, everything budded out and bloomed, then frosts did a great job of demolition.

Still have grapes and strawberries, but lost all the apricots, plums and peaches. Live and learn. NO WATERING until after April 15, hoping to keep plants in dormancy. This desert gardening is certainly a learning process.

I'm indoors with out any access to outdoor space but I do have a garden of sorts. I've two bags of spuds growing on my kitchen floor. There are containers of herbs, and seedling onions, current tomatoes, bell peppers, lettuce, and spinach. All of this is growing in containers.

The focus on spuds is that they are my main carbohydrate. I am allergic to wheat. Corn can't be managed in an apartment.

I followed your flickr link to a group that posts photos of plants grown in commercial bags of garden soil. It was inspiring! Thank you!
