my air-cured ''big-gem'' photos...and my way of hanging baccy

[Chicken]

after picking my baccy i put the leaves on a '' LOCATING FLAG'' rod,,, the little flags the phone or cable company puts in the ground to mark a cable,,,,,

after a job is completed these flags are useless,,, and are just left in the ground till someones lawnmower hits them

i picked a lot of them up,,,, stripped the flag off,,, and had the perfect lenght of thin wire to string my baccy on,,,,,

then i hung 2 pieces of string,,, the width of the metal rod,,, placed my leaves on it spread apart as not to touch each other too much,,,,

bent both ends of the wire, to ''hook'' on the string,,,,and with a little air-circulation it is doing fine,,,

i let them '' colour cure'' in a shed with a metal roof, with no artifical air circulatin,,, just the wind thats blowing outside,,,, it has a big open area '' no door''

upon colour curing i move them to my small camper,,, where i have a fan running non-stop for the rest of the process,,, where they will hang till.. kiln-cured,,,and then pressed into bricks for storage,,
