Once you’ve grow your herbs in your hydroponic system, you will want to dry some untill the next batch is ready.  Imagine sitting around the table with your family on a cold winter night, with the smell of your favorite herbs steaming out from your favorite dish that you so lovingly prepared. Not only that but dried herbs look very appealing hang in in your kitchen or the pantry.

Herbs that contain high moisture can be a bit more difficult to dry but herbs such as bay, dill, thyme, marjoram, summer savory, sage, basil and oregano are just a few that lend themselves to drying.

Herb plants that are going to be harvested should be harvested in the early morning, in this way they will not have extended much energy. Also you need to gather them just before they go into bloom and they will be in their best condition to produce great dried herbs.
