My husband grows pototoes and I am wanting to try dehydrating some. Would this product work for doing pototoes?

It says it works for potatoes, we only tried jerky & fruit & those came out perfect. What I like about this machine it dries in 1 day don't have to wait days. Yes I would recommend this product!!

Sure.. it will work fine. Pretend you're making potato chips. Cut them about 1/8" thick and lay them out on the trays. You can do thicker but it takes longer and you risk case hardening. ( Basically the outside dries too fast and traps in the interior moisture. ) Dry them slowly at a low temp first to get most of the moisture out and then a higher temp ( 140 F ) to finish them up.

It is best if used in the root zone as you up pot or transplant. I read that the granules are more effective than this company's powdered formulation. When used when the plants are young and every time you up pot the myrochozae will replicate and make a healthier plant---definitely use the other product that this company promotes, Azos, nitrogen fixing microbes. With Azos be sure to have some kind of carbohydrate--sugars feed the nitrogen fixing microbes. The Azos can be used at any time and added to any water. plain or nutrient rich water an won't burn.

It would work. It is all ground up, ready to mix with water (can use water from cooking veggies). It absorbs water and reconstitutes into soft food.

I use it for fresh herbs, and it's great. It is so fast and easy to control the end product - julienne strips, coarse mince, fine mince, etc. I would imagine it would work equally well on dry. But only buy it if you have the time to be extra-careful with its sharp blades. Hint: I wash it by turning the blades under running water, using a plastic mesh sponge to move the parts. Never fingers!

What this product is called texturized soy protien TSP. I use quite a bit of TSP's and most are frozen. SO yes,I think it would work out fine by itself. However, if you have added, let's say mushrooms, peppers, that is vegetables that have a higher water content then you will find the mixture to be a bit mushy when thawed. Hey good luck! I like this stuff, easy and very tasty!!!

Are the tomato plants in a pot? If so, it probably would. If the plants are in the ground, there is a similar product that has "tubes" that would probably work better.

Hi, I bought this rack several months ago and what I probably meant was that properly dry vegetables as well as marijuana requires certains things in range like temperature and humidity, air circulation is never directed to the drying goods and if you put the rack outside you can say good bye to the slow drying process.You don't wanna dry anything outside (low moisture and sun will totally dry your goods) everything cured slow taste better, smoke better and so on. It's not completely shielded around the cylinder walls so it seems is built for indoor use only. Hope this answered your question.

Yes, why not? What other method might you use? I have used for tomato plants and watermelon seeds so far.

we have never used it on succulents, however it should work Ok, but make sure it is well diluted and do not overdo it.

Yes it should do he job. I had a dandelion and clover problem killed them all in about a week. I mix it at 2x the recommend amount it works better

We dehydrate everything from fruits & veggies to meats. I think it will do fine for what you need.

I have and it seems to work well. I think it will slow evaporation and keep the soil around the plants moist longer.

i have only used it for tomatoes. However, I think that is a great idea and would work very well.

This would work for freeze drying food if my understanding is of the process is correct, if your key goal is to pull water molecules out of your frozen intact peas, carrots, and potatoes etc then yes this would work over a period of time as with a mason jar technique but you would still need to make use of silica gel. The key is what you are using to pull the water molecules out of the material not so much the chamber, say a regular food saver vacuum sealer (can be used as a vacuum pump) wouldn't be as strong or efficient at achieving the end result as a CFM vacuum pump and honestly they cost about the same.

high, ya I use it in promix & fill 3 gal pots up with HEALTHY roots. This rocks.but check out maxi crop,azomite,humic&fulvic; acid &mycrozie.; It's all about the Roots! Enjoy!

No, it is not suitable for that application. You might want to try researching hydroponics ventilation to get an idea of what's out there. It is important for you to determine what kind of airflow you desire. Especially if it needs filtration for dust, smoke, or grease (cooking).
