If your herbs are damp, be sure to gently blot them dry with a towel to remove as much moisture as you can. Place the herbs on the dehydrator trays in a single layer. Small leaves can remain on the stems, but removing larger leaves from thick stems will shorten the drying time.
Loose, fine herbs like yarrow and mint will dry more quickly than moisture-filled herbs like plantain or comfrey. Expect 1-4 hours for most herbs. Check your herbs periodically for dryness. If you are using a stacked dehydrator, place the harder-to-dry herbs on the bottom and the lighter herbs on the top.
