I'm doing an elderberry dehydrator experiment.
The berries are too small to fit in my dehydrator, they'll fall through the cracks in the trays. So I used butcher paper to make mats that fit in the bottom of the trays... I only made 2 mats because I wasn't sure if there would be enough airflow through the dehydrator for this to work. Dropped berries in last night and this morning when I checked I was pleasantly surprised! The berries seem to be drying nicely.
I have the square type dehydrator with the shelves. So when doing elderberries, I put them on a glass pie pan and put a few pans in at a time.
They do dry nicely

On the way home at sunset the other day. It looked better in person than this photo gives it credit for.
Two more miles down, after the end of the blacktop, is Answered Prayers Farm. Home.

There's also Answered Prayers Horse Farms in Milton & Ocala.
I used to work with NARHA Handicapped Riders Association, Equine Therapy, 600 locations.

My avatar is my wife’s mare, a rescue.
We had two others, both rescues, but they passed away and are buried out in our tiny orchard.
 
My new PEX cinch tool. It's the reason I was able to get water working again without needing help. I don't trust myself to try to use the clamp ones because I'm sure I'll mis-align the tool or the rings or both. So I use the cinch ones. Advertising claims its the "industry's first" powered cinch tool. It's a bit bulky for my hands but it has rubberized grip so it doesn't slip around and the trigger is in a good spot. I can hit it with my thumb or with fingers. It can be operated one-handed.

Nice! For home upgrades.... on my list is replacing all old water pipes with PEX.

Wish I knew the differences between line and fitting types. I'll have to research before I start the project, but from what I've checked on already, the prices are great. I have this thing about drinking water from plastic bottles or water lines, but I filter all my drinking already.
