Hi all I have been growing for a few years and still playing with fermenting tobacco with not too much success but will get there when I can find a humidifier to introduce moisture as seems the hardest part. I actually grow a lot and keep it stored well. I just purchased a push mower $12 to turn into tobacco shredder as both my hand ones are worn out for using to shred kgs of tobacco. I grow all year round where I live and put leaves into bread crates under cover in open air and turns from green to lovely brown in around 3 weeks. I have a vid of push mower shredder I found on utube if anyone is interested
