Abstract: A method of manufacturing a dryer for plant material, which converts a caged intermediate bulk container tote into a dryer by adding wires from which plant material may be hung to dry. Intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) are widely available and offer the benefits of stackability and easy transport; the method creates plant material dryers with the same advantages. Any number of wire segments may be attached to the cage of the IBC tote. Illustrative configurations may place wires into two rows: one row of wires across the top of the cage, and a second row roughly at mid-height of the cage. Wires may be for example stainless steel wires with a gauge between 24 gauge and 30 gauge.
