My Redneck curing barn

If your area isnt prone to a lot of rain...and the shed has good airflow..you may be good...but if it rains a lot..your gonna have issues..

A fan..a heater..and a sealed room is the safest way to cure it...allthough a opening is nice to capture some moisture when its available..

A member on here.."boboro" cures in a area similar to your shed..perhaps you can p.m. him and ask him what he thinks of your area..and how to tweak it..hes from missiippii. So perhaps you 2 may be on the same geographic level also.

We dont have alot of rain. We did have a wet spring and early summer. There is decent air flow in there the corners are open and the top and bottom of the back is open there is only one sheet of tin across the back. i do have plastic to cover the openings to hold in the moisture from the mornings. The problem im having in the 2nt bunch of leaves i put in is the humidity has been to low and some of the leaves are drying to fast and some are drying green. the leaves were strung on twine and spaced a couple inches appart the very last leaves i put in there 12 leaves i placed them close enough to touch some. they are doing alot better turning yellowish before drying. i do thing my main problem is that im to anxious in picking the leaves. i jest need to wait a little longer and let them get a little more ripe

You can throw a couple 5 gallon of buckets of water on the ground to bring the RH up.

+1.
Or a soaker hose run under the floor. Run it just enough to keep the soil moist.

That could be your issue...them not being ripe enough..you can "pile" your leaves to help them yellow up.if your leaf hasnt depleted a lot of its nitrogen they will take longer to yellow up.and will dry green.

What was your fertilizing schedule?...what did you use..and how long was it from your last fertilizing to your first picking?

( gonna be some mad neighbours in a bit...i got a early load and soon its time to start the semi..)

I didn't do any fertilizer this year. Last year I had a couple loads put on the garden spot and I turned under. So this is the 2nt year with none. This fall I'm going to put a couple more and several on the spot I plan to grow next year. To be honest I think I may have jumped the gun on picking. The next ones I get I will wait untill they are more yellow
