Though, it must be good for the mental health...

Get some elc. fence wire and poke it through the big part of the steam and just keep linein them up like that. Hang that up streached out in a shead or carport

just be carefull about hanging them in a shed, ESPECIALLY if you have many days of rain,,,

the leaf will absorb so much moisture, mold can develop very easily,

mines a wide open shed, but if yours is enclosed,,,, just a RADIATOR type heater, will help control the humidity, that and a small fan

 

[deluxestogie]

A mostly enclosed shed will have a 24-hour average humidity similar to outdoors. If outdoors is Florida, then it may be too humid. If it's southern Illinois, the shed might just be fine for color-curing in late summer.

I closed in my shed so I could use the sun to heat it up and dry it out.

I would suggest the shed for your area. You will possibly be fighting cold and/or low humidity. You need a place you can control the environment if necessary. If humidity is low, you will need to introduce moisture, wet the floor, fill a tub with water and suspend a towel fom it, etc. If cold, you may have to add supplemental heat. Down South, it will probably be hot and humid at harvest time. We'll need to introduce airflow to combat the humidity, spread the leaves further apart, etc.. Curing varies with location. Watch for the location of members in your area, then read their last years grow blogs.

Try the area you have to work with. A womans gotta do what a womans gotta do. You'll be fine.

I don't know BarG, if we get a lot of women on here and Don announces a SALE, we'll get run over and all our baccy will be gone.
