I'm going to try a food dehydrator

I’ve been researching ways of preserving my home grown fruits and vegetables and came across this article. All summer I slave away in the garden and tend to my precious plants and enjoy fresh tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, carrots, beans and more but when the cooler weather arrives I am always left with too much to use before it spoils and end up giving stuff away. Lots of preservation options require a lot of work and I don’t really have the time for that so using a dehydrator seems like a great option, especially for berries and tomatoes. I think I will try this out and see if I can preserve some of my harvest to eat throughout the winter.
