you're welcome :)

[@SweetVelvetBuds]

I enjoyed your video very much. I usually don't like videos where people talk too much, I prefer when people go straight into action and demonstrate the technique quickly, but your talking is nice, warm and sincere. Well explained and encouraging. Thank you for sharing. Regards

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

Thank you!

[@jennietombleson2140]

Thank you so much for your video...I never knew yiu could plant the shop bought celery...just planted mine to see what happens !

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

Enjoy!

[@Polamish]

Outstanding. I love when we can make something out of what some folks would call scraps or junk

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

Me, too!

[@tonidecampli6823]

Thank you for this video! I was getting ready to call it a night & go to bed until I saw this....had tons of celery in my fridge & got a second wind! Funny celery salt was on my shopping list...It’s all in my dehydrator now...my husband said I was nuts & went to bed....lol ....thanks so much!

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

You're so welcome!

Small chopped items can go on durable mesh sheets, available online, and can trim to fit your machine. The solid tray, used for fruit leather and liquids, will interfere with the air movement if stacked in the way shown in the video, unless you use that solid tray on the bottom level. Keep in mind that most dehydrated stuff can loss 3/4+ of their fresh size, so factor that into whether mess sheets are prudent towards the final results.

[@PaolaEnergya]

Good idea. I don't have a dehydrator but if I ever get one I'll make celery salt. Also, well done for growing new celery from kitchen scraps 👍

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

Thanks!

[@tjsuttie2991]

You can use your oven on the lowest setting and prop the door open just a little. Celery, as most vegetables should be dehydrated at between 135 and 145 degrees.... can lay celery on large cookie sheet and turn every hour. (perhaps use parchment paper or silicone sheets on cookie sheet).

I love celery , celery flakes , celery seeds, celery salt

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

me, too :)

[@Thisisit120]

I’m going to have to do this. Thanks for the video.

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

Thanks! Have fun :)

If you plant an herb called lovage,you will find a somewhat flat seedy cluster usually on top of the stems. This my friends is celery seed. The pilgrims brought it with them to America.

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

While it doex taste a lot like celery, those seeds grow lovage, not celery. Historians aren't sure who first brought celery to North America, but it was definitely a "thing" by the 1800s.

[@rickmortimer2933]

Great video. Thank you. A couple of questions: 1) What do you use celery salt with? Can you add it stews for example? 2) Why not grind up the salt with the powder?

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

I love celery salt on eggs! But yes, you can add it to soup or stew, use it to season meat, use it to season veggies...You could grind up the salt, but the ratio of salt to celery would then be different.

[@TheKazadoodle]

Celery salt is also great on tomatoes (salad, sandwiches) and also I love adding celery salt when I'm sweating onions - the smell alone is swoon making.

[@lunam.a9192]

try it with mushroom soup, it's delicious !!!

[@Tinkerbell31326]

Nesci has other tray covers that have smaller holes and lows air to pass thru.

[@Ratseeker]

If the stalks grow endlessly, how does one keep the soil nutritious? Isn't it slowly being drained out of stuff?

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

No more so than with any perennial plant. Just fertilize or add organic matter to the soil.

$100.00 says that snail crawled out and lives in her cabinets.

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

Ha! Fortunately for me, no. 😊

[@BeIlG]

very informative. Thank you!

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

So glad you found it helpful :)

[@fedrabenetatos2784]

If someone doesn’t have a dehydrator, in which other way you can dehydrate it?????

[@seannootherway]

Oven on at 110 degrees. For 24 hours

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

You can use your oven's warning drawer, if it has one, or even the oven itself, on the lowest setting. The latter is less desirable, because the temperature will be high. Or, if you live in a dry climate, you can do solar dehydration outside.

Celery Salt! Yumm! It is perfect for #BloodyCaesar.

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

[@valkyriesanborn189]

Why did you throw away the snail... you could have easily just put it back in your garden. :(

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

Because these non-native snails completely eat all my garden if I don't destroy them.

[@Thisisit120]

🙄

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

@ce collie Yes, truly. They were introduced to our area and have almost eliminated the native species of snail.

[@guerillagrace]

You mean as compost, right Lol They are beasts in the garden Maybe farm them in their own enclosure for controlled escargot? 🤓💡

[@deytokourderb]

Would it be possible to make celery salt using the stalks?

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

I've never done it, but I don't see why not. Just dehydrate the stalks and powder them before adding the salt.

[@mjtunstall1976]

nice video, did you know you can get rid of snails, yoou got the ingredient on the bench, salt! snails hate salt and can die naturally!

[@Proverbs31Homestead]

Yes! I do this sometimes.
