Looking back on the last few years, it was just a matter of time before we decided to turn our concrete filled backyard into a mini urban homestead. With the goal of eventually growing most of our own food, we are starting out by taking small steps, learning as we go.

Solar Dehydrating
I started researching solar dehydrators because my electric one is noisy, and of course uses electricity. I can't wait to try out the solar dehydrator that Dave made. After looking at several different types, including the "Appalachian box" we settled on one that uses a theory of the "hot tin roof". We found so much excellent information here, and paid for the downloaded book called "Feeding Ourselves" to get more detailed information. We ended up with a 2' x 4' single layer dehydrator, that gives us about 8 sq.ft of drying space. Dave has lots of pictures and will explain in detail how he made it. I'll be showing what I dehydrate in a future post.
