When you go to the grocery store, do you buy fresh herbs or do you head to the spice aisle? Not all of our recipes signal for fresh herbs, so many citizens just buy the dried herbs, but it is so much easier to make your own herb garden so that you can have fresh herbs all year around. Cheaper too!

You can have freshly dried herbs all winter distant when you make your own herb dryer. To build the dryer, you will need recycled metal fly screens, four trays, pull handles, and a crate or pine frame. You can paint the frame with Estapol paint so that it will look appealing wherever you set the herb dryer.

You’ll want to place the frame where you can observe it on a continual basis, as herbs dry fairly quickly. Gather your herbs in the AM, and place them in airtight containers when they are dry. You’ll have freshly dried herbs all winter distant, and save lots of money in the process. Don’t forget to make your own basil butter!
