The Herb Drying Rack

Ideal for drying herbs and flowers!

The Herb Drying Rack is made of a durable outer nylon cover supported on a solid frame of metal posts and heavy-duty plastic connectors. Zippers open and close for easy access. Each of the five drying shelves is made of strong mesh fabric to allow for optimal air circulation and drying. The mesh shelves can be machine-washed (drip dry, do not use a dryer). Mesh air intake openings are located around the base to ensure adequate air flow throughout the drying rack. Complete assembly and air filtration set up instructions are included.

For added peace of mind: A small carbon filter with a 4" neck can be mounted inside the drying rack and connected to an appropriate extraction fan set up outside the unit to eliminate any unpleasant odours (filter and fan are sold separately).
