Bundles of yellow and red cedar<\/p><\/div>\n

Hang cedar to dry THOROUGHLY.\u00a0 Do not attempt to store until the bundles are completely dry.\u00a0 Depending on your climate, time of year and moisture in the air, drying time may take a couple of days to a couple of weeks.\u00a0 If you must place in a bag, use a paper bag at first.\u00a0 Always store in paper bag and not in plastic bag.\u00a0 You can use a plastic bag AFTER the cedar is completely dry!<\/p>\n

Why am I stressing using the words THOROUGHLY and AFTER?<\/p>\n

AVOID MOLD!<\/p>\n

IF mold has set in to your cedar, check to see the depth of the mold.\u00a0 IF the mold has completely invaded the cedar through and through, then I would not use it for anything!\u00a0 IF the mold has only marred the surface of the cedar, then immediately soak the cedar bundles in vinegar water!\u00a0 Add approximately 1 tablespoon of vinegar to 2 gallons of water, immerse the cedar completely weighted down by a heavy bowl, and let it sit for an entire day before rinsing with warm water several times.\u00a0 Then let cedar bundles air dry THOROUGHLY!!!<\/p>\n

If you’ve allowed your cedar to get moldy once, you will NOT ALLOW the next harvest of cedar to mold again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
