Hi everyone. Have a question about location/conditions for safely drying herbs harvested from a garden. Which SE would that be most suitable for?
I have a small enclosed porch I'm making into an herb drying room, but for security reasons the windows need to be closed most of the time and it can only occassionally air out.
The room is old, and it has a very heavy air quality to it (it is stifling to be in the room). I don't think the room getting hot is particularly bad since people dry herbs in ovens sometimes, but the air quality in the room (maybe it is offgassing of paint in such heat, even though the room was painted decades ago?) being so unpleasant is what worries me about drying herbs there.
