Does this work better than storing the herbs in a large mason jar with a bit of water in the bottom?

I would think the mason jar would work fine, but I enjoy the ease of cleaning that the two part Prepworks allows. It is also taller than a mason jar which allows me to store whole asparagus and tall parsley.

I've never tried a mason jar. I have two of these. It will keep asparagus fresh for over a week, as well as fresh herbs. I frequently rely on both of them simultaneously. I don't put mine in the dishwasher, but I guess the top shelf would be okay. It wouldn't make any difference with a mason jar.

I store my chamomile in a tight glass canning jar within easy reach for daily use. I store the balance of the tea in my freezer in the bag it came in. Have had no problems here in Florida keeping it fresh this way. Barbara

You can safely store up to two days, but you need to fill a container all the way up. I use mason jars because of the airtight seal

I would think so. I would not store liquid in these but any kind of dried spices, tea leaves, etc. should work very well. these are a very good price. i have looked around a lot on the internet and use these for storing my homemade salve.

The jars are very sturdy. I have the stainless steel option and I think that would be good for you. I might be a little worried about them kilnking together though. I do not shake test my herb rack so I do not know for sure.

It might try to suck up your herbs, but you could try using a piece of pantyhose or paper towel over the very end of the "straw" to keep it from sucking in the herbs, however, you would end up with that small piece of hose or paper in the bag. I once tried to suck out air from a flour mix and it easily sucked in the flour. To solve this problem, I put a small piece of paper towel over the end. It worked ok, but was still very hard to accomplish a good seal on the bag. Herbs should be a little easier to do than flour.

There is a 6 or 7 inch opening in each level for placing herb in the rack. You could cover the opening with cloth to keep anything from falling out.

yes i have sealed spices and stored them in the freezer or refrigerator. you have to check the bags after a couple of days as sometimes they get a pinhole in them and lose their seal. but overall they work great

I started using it just three weeks ago, but assume that if you keep the bottle tightly closed, it would last for many months. I keep kitchen herbs for months in tightly closed jars and they last for months. I add about 1/4 cup to each newly-filled litter pan each month and it's still working after three weeks. Hope that helps.

I wouldn't unless you plan to keep them in the ground or to keep them separated as part of a bigger system like hydroponics. The many holes will keep the soil more on the dry side compared to similar size pots. As a general rule, a larger pot will be moist longer periods and keep the plant stress to a minimum for your herbs. I would recommend the stacking pots like the three from Nancy for herbs (on Amazon) or a rectangular window box.

I actually think it would work if you did a relatively coarsley chopped herbs/onion mixture. After all, in my opinion you want the flavor from the herbs, not the herbs themselves.

That I am not sure of. I know it would dry out, but this is a question you should probably ask the seller. I have mine stored in a mason jar with a tight lid. And what I put in my grinder, I spread out on a cookie sheet for about 24 hours to remove the moisture before I put it in the grinder.

I dry lots of herbs on their stem perfectly. You could loose items through the lattice / grates. I suggest the fruit roll up tray which I make flaxseed chips on.

I have never planted herbs, but I would guess since these buckets are quite sturdy for their size, they would work for planting. There is no hole in them to drain water, though.

I store mine in a full quart Mason jar. It stays fresh and dry. Great product!

No, the spout would become plugged. You would have to remove the spout. I have tried dry herbs, it didn

I haven't dried herbs, garlic or onions in mine but I would not hesitate to use it for this purpose. Herbs probably take the lowest setting and onions and garlic a bit higher.
