Do you dehydrate your own herbs or use mainly fresh?

I use fresh herbs all summer but I have never been happy with my dehydrated ones except for chives so I buy the dried ones.

I buy mine dried from the store. Growing Herbs is something I never did much of.

I find it faster to just freeze dill and parsley. The others I just use fresh. I'm too disorganized to remember to pick the others at peak leaf time for drying.

I have never tried to dehydrate herbs. I have a little window sill patch of basil and parsley that I uses fresh and grow it all winter. The rest I buy dried from the Amish.

If I had the space to have a drier for food-herbs-leathers, I might do that. Inasmuch as I do not, nope no dried herbs for me.
I push off most of the seed I air-dry onto other charities.

I have dehydrated herbs many times , mostly using the paper bag method. I use fresh when available, then dried as needed.

I found when I grew more herbs, I never got around to harvesting them. I now get mine, dried, in bottles, at the store.

The only herb that I dry any of is mint, and only to add to tea. No other herbs that I grow are as good dried, as when freah.
