- Use a Stilt-Type Solar Dryer: Dry seaweed above the ground to avoid contamination and maintain quality. Keep it off the ground.
- Spread Evenly: Spread seaweed evenly during drying for quicker and better drying. Do not cover seaweed directly to prevent condensation and overheating.
- Nighttime Coverage: Cover seaweed with raised plastic or tarpaulin at night to prevent condensation and allow air circulation.
- Rainy Day Protection: Use raised plastic covers during rain to keep seaweed dry and maintain its quality by preventing freshwater contact.
Important Notes:
Seaweed will dry (on average) in 3 days under full sunlight and 5 days with overcast skies or occasional rain. Check stations for notes on timing. We cannot afford to lose product.
