drying time, first apples then green tomatoes.
I like to fry green tomatoes, squash and okra together in a skillet, I have found dried green tomatoes rehydrated and breaded makes the perfect addition to a skillet of squash and okra. The key is to add them and some sliced onion when the other ingredients are 75% done. If you add them earlier they will burn.
Apples;
About 50 small apples dried, there were a lot of worms and bad spots.
Loading green tomatoes in the dehydrator.
Loaded and drying.

Sound yummy Eric.
My Navy Beans are almost done blossoming. The pods are “setting” and growing nicely. First picture you can see earlier blossoms have pollinated and pods are getting bigger lower in canopy. Higher later blossoms are just starting “pin” beans. Each blossom has the potential for 6 to 8 beans normal average. Second picture shows more of a close up of pin beans just emerging from pollinated blossoms

I see I have a couple watermelons starting to form. I enjoy watching how fast they can grow

If it is so much more hassle to spread, hopefully it is cheaper to get? Hopefully the techxperts cooked that stuff well enough :D, but it's probably better than the chemical stuff they mixed up before.
bjrogg:
The biggest problem isn’t the work involved spreading it although it is a consideration. The biggest problem is the storage limitations and requirements that it be spread within 21 days. It’s being made every day but we don’t have land available to spread year round. I probably wouldn’t work at using it as much as I do if I didn’t think it was a good idea and a renewable resource that has previously been treated as a waste product. I think this particular product has potential. It still has its problems, but I think they are headed in the right direction.

PS I’ve been told by more than one person. If it isn’t cooked enough you will have tomatoes growing everywhere. So far no tomatoes
