Hi Salix - you're right, dehydrating works (the odor from the garage permeates the whole house when I'm drying it, ummmmm...). I'll try the olive oil idea this year- that sounds tasty. Tom - humidity isn't bad here, except for a few days of monsoonal moisture every summer. But your advice on maintaining circulation sounds right - I'm trying to figure a way to combine dark, cool storage with good circulation. At the moment I'm tinkering with a barrel with a tall stack, hoping for passive circulation. If that doesn't work I may just go with a low-power pancake fan to force gentle circulation. And, of course, there's always my friends basement if all else fails.
