Post Harvest Processing • Optional: Line the bottom
of the livestock water trough with heavy duty vinyl window screen to easily remove plant material upon completion. • Trim stems. • Weigh materials. Options for weighing: Add 5–10 lb bundles to a large produce scale. Combine bundles (50–60 lbs total) in a 100-gallon cattle trough. OR Create a Tripod pulley or use a large industrial scale to weigh your plants. • Add ~60 gallons of water to the trough, enough that the plants can float but stay submerged. • Submerge plants underwater using mesh and bricks, just enough to keep them below the water surface. Avoid packing the plant material too tightly; ensure the water reaches all the leaves for optimal extraction.
