Dual-Use Solar Dehydrator|Mini-Greenhouse

I've listed this at OneGrassRoot's Wishadoo in their marketplace, my local Craigslist, and now here. In striking out on my own since the job market doesn't seem to want anyone over 50, I'm hoping to generate income from what I love doing.

These units are currently available in the Triangle/Triad area of North Carolina, but if you're interested, please contact me regarding shipping a unit to you. After working to develop and perfect this design over the last few years, I'll soon be working on how to offer it in kit form if shipping to zones far from NC are too cost prohibitive.

If you have any questions, just contact me here or at Wishadoo (via my post there). Thanks.

This unique dual-use design is a combination of a small greenhouse and a solar dehydrator! By using the Dual-Use Solar Unit (DUSU), you get the benefit of being able to start your seedlings earlier in the year, protect your seedlings and then dehydrate the usable product. The DUSU helps you from seed to table.
