Drying herbs in the subtropics can be difficult with the extreme humidity most of the year unless you want to use the oven to slowly dry them. I find that using the air fryer to dry the herbs is the quickest and most simple way to preserve herbs throughout summer when there is an abundance in the garden. I like to start drying them at 100 degrees Celsius and adjust according to the herb you're drying. The more moisture, the higher the temperature I like to set the air fryers. Just make sure to weight the herbs down with something that is heat proof or else they'll fly around and potentially burn.
Let me know if you try this method if you're got an air fryer and anything else you like to dry!

Hey there!
Welcome to my channel, The Nature Patch where I like to share all things gardening, cooking and environmental science in my Australian bushland backyard.
My name is Robyn, an environmental scientist working towards completing a PhD in understanding how people's wellbeing and their connection to nature is impacted by land use change. I've always loved gardening and nature and lately have been interested in growing my own organic food!
On this channel you'll find videos relating to garden tours, 'how to' videos, composting, soil health, ecosystem services, and seed saving.
I try to upload twice a week and I hope you enjoy!!
