**Using a solar powered Bitcoin miner to dehydrate antihistamine tea
image image image
Since discovering the antihistamine properties of purple dead nettle, each year more is harvested an processed in the Bitcoin mining dehydrator. image This year I finally decided to use exclusively solar power to run the dehydrator, really maximizing what I can do with it all. Golden oyster mushrooms are next, then mullein. #permaculture #permies #homesteading #meshtadel #bitcoin #bitcoinmining #plebminer #doublespendenergy #solarpower #solarmining #foraging #wildharvested

Bitcoin mining dehydrator processing purple dead nettle to make powerful antihistamine tea
image image
I harvested purple dead nettle while weeding the kitchen garden beds in preparation for planting the annual vegetable starts. Last season, I learned that purple dead nettle is a powerful antihistamine. By drinking a cup of purple dead nettle tea once every 4 hours my allergy symptoms were totally cured without any side effects. image The load of nettle kicks off the second season of using the Bitcoin mining dehydrator, hopefully I can keep it full and processing something continuously until late fall. image This season, the Bitcoin mining dehydrator is setup outside on a covered porch instead of in the house. The heat started to add up after running it continuously for several months and it does make some noise, much like any dehydrator. With it outside, the heat and noise are no concern. #permaculture #permies #homesteading #grownostr #meshtadel #plebminer #wildforaged #bitcoinmining #gardening #weeding #doublespendenergy #hash2heat #mine4heat #bitcoin #foraging #herbalism #apothicary #bitcoinmining #homeminer

So you’re using solar panels and a battery for power or did you make a solar dehydrator that directly uses the suns heat? The panels make sense if you already had a powered setup. I’ve been wanting to make a Solar dehydrator that’s passive though, just uses glass and a cabinet to test out how it works. I’ve also seen Solar ovens using the same idea which look pretty cool.

I think those passive solar dehydrators are awesome! Especially if you have large volumes of produce that needs to be processed. This system was sort of a progression that started with the solar equipment, then the miner, then the dehydrator.
