Default Drying weed's/plant's

There's usualy some post's on collecting weed's and drying them now while in abundance, this is not a bad idea to do as much as you can, if your a total weed feeder, as a thought on some previous good summer's no rain, they could be needed as the weed's disappear fast in some area's in a drought. Add that's a summer without and pos a winter .

Go for whole plants, not individual leaves. One bonus of drying plants is that it appears that it causes any Oxalic acid in the plant to break down and the levels are much reduced in dried plants.
