I like the multiple shelves dehydrator. I think my husband could build one. the car is as cool idea too. You're never out of ideas, Starry! amazing! I'm so glad I got to meet you at the conference. ... you're such an inspiration! !
I took a sliding screen and took it apart and put cut vegetables on it and overed it with the other screen and set it on top of my jeep's luggage rack. I put it up "high" to keep the endless ants we have here in texas out. It gets so hot here.
My Mother used to make "Fodder" beans! She took thread or twine, with a needle, broke her green beans and laced them on by sticking the needle and thread through them! Tiny bit of space between them, for air circulation. They were hung in our livingroom! Cooked with salt pork, they were delicious! Put TATERS in them too! Some cornbread, you've got a meal! We all miss you so much Starry! Bee Blessed Danny and Rita in TN on Rooster's Ridge
I am in the process of making my own right now I'm using stainless steel box and I'm using beef jerky trays 12 to 16° trays I made one from Plywood are used it for five years it works really good thank you God bless
I was just saying how nice it would be to have a solar dehydrator. I'm not sure it would work in our climate though with the humidity in the 70-90% range. Love to see what you are doing though!
OH dear lady. You are so dynamic. I wish you were my next door neighbor. My wife and I would love you from here to the constellation Pleadise and back again.
In the olden days my grandmother and my mother would make Racks using the black screens that were used in the screen doors of their day. They would put the food on the rack and then lay a screen on top of the food so the flies couldn't get it and Then either put it on top of the house or shed or anywhere that They could get good sunlight using a metal roof to heat it up more. I also remember them hanging bunches of herbs and things together in the kitchen and letting him dry that way too. I think you have very good ideas. I have several dehydrators and like using in them inside. But there are things such as onions and garlic and some other stuff that have to be set outside or it will stink you out of the house. I also take thread and sew my hot peppers on a long string to dry and it works good. I think I will make me a rack like you have outside. I think I'd like to have one with glass facing the sun just like you would use the car glass windows if the tray was up on the dash. Thanks Starry!❤️🙏
I just love your ideas! I think why people are pushing away these old fashion ways is because they are germaphobic. They think about bug flying around on their food in the open like that. I would love for you to talk one day about building our natural immunity and thing can be clean and healthy but not sterilized and expensive. I'm surprised that people can eat at all with the way they feel about every little bug and such. We sterilize ourselves right into getting sick.
All food that we buy in the store is allowed a large percentage of roach, fly, moth, magget larva; and rat hair in it. Just look at tea stored in a jar or herbs and you will see the little buggers hatched and dead inside. If you are concerned about bug larva; just oven can or seal 0 meal you mason jars and they will die and never hatch.
I did not make them, I purchased it at the homesteading conference and gave it to starry so we would have matching ones lol. Mrs. Paulette Ford makes them I will try to link her face book page. They are soooo cute! facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010465724715 I don't know if you have to be friends to view it or not but if you cant access it let me know and I will contact her with your information if you want. She's great!
I just dehydrated kiwi fruit in my ceiling cavity. Just install a small fan to keep the air circulating. Come summer I am going to dehydrate as much as I can
That is a grate Idea I may have to use. I ordered a dehydrator and it’s late somewhere lost in the mail but I do have access to a car. Hopefully it’s sunny tomorrow. Here in Ontario Canada we’re just starting to see some budding on the trees some more than others but the temperature has been raising. What a great idea thank you friend and happy gardening. I’ve got a look into this back to Eden Garden sounds cool well happy gardening season to all.
Brilliant ideas! Thank you. Now that I just bought a giant food dehydrator, I'm regretting bc here in Las Vegas probably I can easily do without it, lol
Yeah not worth being paranoid I mean the biggest thing that has changed my life is Jesus Christ so I know I have full assurance all the way up until the end with or without a homestead I'm in good hands you should try him sometimes it's worth it
I love this video!!! Thank you for sharing… I live in an apartment… I'm going to get my brother to make me one of these. Love it!!! Have a blessed day love y'all
I'm kinda new to your channel, but my husband and I love your videos!! We have been trying to watch them all!! Love your happy personality and all your wonderful ideas!! Keep them videos a coming!! Lol :)
Starry, I have an old bar stool that has the back of the seat broken. I am removing the seat and replacing it with a small self-built box dehydrator, and will place it on my blacktop driveway on low humidity days - it gets full sun. My purpose - easy rotation through-out the day if there isn't much of a breeze. lol It may not work, but I have NOTHING to lose since it is all salvage stuff. ;)
I am so late to the Starry party as I just found you, but so enjoying this channel! I've got a load of old wood from a fence we had to replace, so tomorrow I am going to build a dehydrator! And to think as just looking for one on Ebay...
great ideas, would work well in my climate, Queensland summers very hot, 36degreesC + although humidity is high, I think it would dry quickly , you could fry eggs on the cement here
How do I do St. John's Wort? I think I have it growing and didn't know I could dehydrate it. Dehydrate leaves or flowers? Then what? Eat it or put in recipes? Now I'm excited about this! Starry, I want to be you 🤗.
Thank you stary this is great information i have a dehydrator and solar pannels but dislike the 12 to 48hrs that it needs to run! Im going to try make use of your ideas! 🌟
We have high humidity it still dries everything It just takes longer that's all!! Same with the electric dehydration it tells you how long according to humidity!! I believe where there's a will there will always With Gods he'll be a WAY!!! Starry thx for sharing this I do have a question I have the Excalibur dehydrator for the house...Sometimes when the humidity is high it doe take twice as long as it normally would to dehydrated things like Basil for instance... Anyway I was informed you Can over dehydrate??? I personally can't see how that's possible?? Starry Can you You tell Me how you feel about this OVER DEHYDRATION??? I mean it's irrational running back and forth and opening and closing that dehydrator for a few crumbs that got dry faster than the rest??? Love it thx for the history lesson... I made the first comment for the ones on here that made the comment... (you can't dehydrate outdoors with humidity) Because As long as you have air and heat you can dehydrate anything anywhere... It amazes Me how many people want you to believe you can't do anything in this world!! They all seem to have their own theory's even though I guarantee you they never tried it Or they heard it from another person, Or they just want to make the person on Utube be wrong so that can get a ton Of Likes!! I'm personally sick of the like button!! Starry did you know you can set the like button to where your the only one that knows how many likes or dislikes you actually get?? I think it's great!!! Several people I follow do it Noreen's Kitchen, Also Linda's Pantry..It keeps the Trolls as You call them at. At because they can't see how many dislikes you got over what they said ROFLMBO🤣🤣 Gobe it a try someday.. Please.Answer my question at your convenience I know it's a busy time for us all..I have to get my delicate hers in the house before I loose them!! Take care God Bless you and Mr. Hilder always 4 EVER!! 💕🤗🙏🏻Shey
Hello! Thank you for this video, I just have one question how do you store your dehydrated food afterwards.. I'm knew to this and I see a lot of people using plastic bags or jars that have the oxygen sucked out of them with some sort of vacuum, what do you recommend? Thank you very much
I live in Florida and it is very difficult to dry anything especially in the summer without an actual dehydrator. Is there any tips you have for someone who lives in extremely high humidity?
Hey Starry,,,, do you have a page or video detailing your medicinal herbs and what you use them for? I'd LOVE to start my own off grid medicine cabinet
Hi starry, do you rehydrate your strawberry before consuming ? If so, how or maybe you do some jam or ice cream with !? Thanks for reminding us old school and cheap way to do what people buy usually in grocery .Have a nice day
Found out the car is the best way to dehydrated grapes lol
Michelle Frances Peterson-Arnone lol I know it gets hot in there lol

Using the car is brilliant! Thank you. Don't have one right now, but when I do I hope to try that. Thank you & God bless
Oh my gosh, you're positively wonderful !! Im learning off the grid living and this is perfect !!!

@@rebeccashetter2309 great idea👍
Thank you Stary, you just saved me $200 today because I was going to buy a dehydrator.
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Always thinking of alternative methods of doing something, Starry. A true homesteader! Love it!
My mom always dehydrated using the back windshield of our cars. Had to stay home those days, but worth it.
I love you are wearing our twin aprons in the videos....Makes me smile every time!!! Have a blessed day!!! YOU ROCK STARRY!!!!
Maranda Quinn do you sell your aprons

Ok, that was A W E S O M E ! I was wondering if there was anyone who was dehydrating like our ancestors did it for eons!
I just dehydrated kiwi fruit in my ceiling cavity. Just install a small fan to keep the air circulating. Come summer I am going to dehydrate as much as I can

I like your style. I am a paranoid prepper and it is nice to have some ideas from someone who is not paranoid. Lol thank you.
Yeah not worth being paranoid I mean the biggest thing that has changed my life is Jesus Christ so I know I have full assurance all the way up until the end with or without a homestead I'm in good hands you should try him sometimes it's worth it

I love your enthusiastic and optimistic energy 🦋
Instead of burning electricity, I am going to start drying my herbs outside!!! Anyway I can save on that huge bill :( I will do ! I love that apron.
Starry, I have an old bar stool that has the back of the seat broken. I am removing the seat and replacing it with a small self-built box dehydrator, and will place it on my blacktop driveway on low humidity days - it gets full sun.

Keen eye..can you co me over here and work for food??
Sure - as soon as we can make it out that way, we'd love to! ;) lol
I am so late to the Starry party as I just found you, but so enjoying this channel!
I've got a load of old wood from a fence we had to replace, so tomorrow I am going to build a dehydrator! And to think as just looking for one on Ebay...
I really enjoyed the energy in this video. Great content

Thank you stary this is great information i have a dehydrator and solar pannels but dislike the 12 to 48hrs that it needs to run! Im going to try make use of your ideas! 🌟
ahead of time :D LOVE
you can maximize the electricity you do use if you cook any in the oven put in for a while it heat up then again after what your cooking is done.
You are awesome!! Just found your channel! God bless you!!
Thank you! You too!
I'm TOTALLY for alternative methods! Thanks again for your videos Starry...great ideas :)
We have high humidity it still dries everything It just takes longer that's all!! Same with the electric dehydration it tells you how long according to humidity!!
I believe where there's a will there will always With Gods he'll be a WAY!!!
Starry thx for sharing this I do have a question I have the Excalibur dehydrator for the house...Sometimes when the humidity is high it doe take twice as long as it normally would to dehydrated things like Basil for instance...
Anyway I was informed you Can over dehydrate???
I personally can't see how that's possible??
Starry Can you You tell
Me how you feel about this OVER DEHYDRATION??? I mean it's irrational running back and forth and opening and closing that dehydrator for a few crumbs that got dry faster than the rest??? Love it thx for the history lesson...
I made the first comment for the ones on here that made the comment... (you can't dehydrate outdoors with humidity)
Because As long as you have air and heat you can dehydrate anything anywhere...
It amazes
Me how many people want you to believe you can't do anything in this world!! They all seem to have their own theory's even though I guarantee you they never tried it Or they heard it from another person, Or they just want to make the person on Utube be wrong so that can get a ton Of Likes!!
I'm personally sick of the like button!!
Starry did you know you can set the like button to where your the only one that knows how many likes or dislikes you actually get??
I think it's great!!! Several people I follow do it Noreen's Kitchen,
Also Linda's Pantry..It keeps the
Trolls as
You call them at. At because they can't see how many dislikes you got over what they said ROFLMBO🤣🤣 Gobe it a try someday..

How many TH-cam videos are on dehydrating veggies in the sun?
Perhaps they will store longer.
Thank you for sharing great videos!
Love you ! Getting started this weekend!

Thank you my love. Appreciate it!

Loved the video, and thanks for the tips. God Bless
Easy to do, thank youuu!!! :) :) Love & Peace to you and Mr Hilder!
Great Idea we will try this ! Blessings Paul & Susan North Georgia
Dehydrating is my favorite method of food preservation. I'm short of space and find it the best way.
Thanks for your video. My car works great.
really empowering :) Thank you!!
Your welcome 💕
Which part of the world do you live, dear lady?
I have a good mind to visit that garden in person. Both the garden and your methods are superb!
Lol, I'm totally busted dehydrating in my vehicles window too ! 😅 Thx for the laugh on that. I love using and re-useing other people's junk.
same here i love a good roadside mall (stuff people put out on the side of the road)
Love it! Thank you!
Thank you for this!! I just uploaded my first video! Took the leap if Faith💗 Thank you for your inspiration💗

Awesome and super helpful thank you!!
Very helpful, thank you so much!!
I dry my fermented cacao beans in a basket on my dashboard😅
Hello! Thank you for this video, I just have one question how do you store your dehydrated food afterwards.. I'm knew to this and I see a lot of people using plastic bags or jars that have the oxygen sucked out of them with some sort of vacuum, what do you recommend? Thank you very much
Mason jars!
Definitely using my car for this!
YAY! Thanks x

starry going to try the car good idea thanks
Love it!
Thank you
Thanks gal.👍
I live in Florida and it is very difficult to dry anything especially in the summer without an actual dehydrator. Is there any tips you have for someone who lives in extremely high humidity?
DeAnna same
Same problem here in South Texas
South Mississippi yep same here
Same for upstate New York
Same, I'm not American but I live in the deep tropics. Hot and humid. Are the options for us out there? Hmm...
Good call for using the car!
This is exactly what I was looking for thank you!!
Good video starry
Starry, you are an inspiration! what do you do for Greens year round i.e.salads?
Hey Starry,,,, do you have a page or video detailing your medicinal herbs and what you use them for? I'd LOVE to start my own off grid medicine cabinet
I wil be drying some and hopefully getting a vid soon on what we have here and what use them for!!
You rock girl.. Thank you
Watching, Watching.... Love Ya,Thanks for sharing, Lo :)
Hi Starry, what do u do with huckle berries? Eat raw? Make jam? Cook? There were so many wow!
How to you store once everything has finished dehydrating and for how long?
Thank you! 👍😘🇬🇧
Very smart
My grand other would lay something on the roof of the barn and put thing up there.
It's not about being "Green" its about avoiding all the chemicals in my food.
won't work in the tropics...too much humidity ! although maybe the car could work?
Hi starry, do you rehydrate your strawberry before consuming ? If so, how or maybe you do some jam or ice cream with !? Thanks for reminding us old school and cheap way to do what people buy usually in grocery .Have a nice day
I rehydrate most of my foods i dry..i soak in warm water..within five minutes good to eat
Awesome advice!
would love to dry this way but our humidity is to high.
What about flies and insects 🐜 🐞 🕷 for the open tray
Awesome.
