I don't have black pepper homegrown yet. I don't have a greenhouse. My neighbor is growing black pepper in a sunroom in his house, it seems easy enough to grow. He pollinates it with an artist's paintbrush attached to the tip of an old electric toothbrush. I didn't want to grow my own until I tried the stuff he was growing. I don't use much of it anyway. I use Hungarian wax pepper for general spiciness. This year is the first year I'll be growing my own cumin. I use a tons of it, like the H.wax pepper, and it is about time I grow it. Garlic is another thing I grow for fresh and for powdered, mostly, but also for indoor growing for fresh cuttings of the green tops. Same goes with onion and their tops for chopped frozen and powdered (pic.)

One of these,

The racks' holes are a bit large so I use paper towels. Other dehydrators have mesh. I prefer not to use plastic or aluminum.

You lose a marginal amount of vitamins, but everything gets very concentrated too. You can do comparisons on here, just double check the amounts used in the drop down menu.

I use raised beds and the coop is a long ways from those. I want to get a second coop closer to the garden and use some fencing to direct them right onto one or more beds. Most of my stuff is no-till since I rotate crops and the act of rotation tills the soil when harvesting the tubers.

It is peppermint. Opening the jar and inhaling is like jamming candy canes up your nose.

That's happened to 2 of my neighbors. They don't knock. They just bust in the door, confiscate the property, and sell it at auction before anything happens with your case. If you don't have actual pot/drugs, they apologize and toss you out on the street. Regardless, they destroy your gardens and take the house to get that sweet quick cash. Thankfully, the neighbors got their property back, but only because I happened to know the guy who buys up lots of that stuff. The cops don't do it nearly as much now since he stopped buying from them for that very reason.
