Patio drying

Also known as patio drying · secado en terraza · concrete patio

What it is and what sets it apart: Differs from beds by ground contact and less under-airflow—more uneven moisture risk.

How it is done: Spread cherry or parchment → rake → heap at night/rain → final moisture → rest.

Flavours and cup benefits: Can yield good lots with discipline; poor work brings earth, mold or bake. Scale and low cost.

Technical notes: Layer thickness and patio cleanliness. Label: patio dried.

Common mistakes: Patio is not always worse than beds. Do not skip turning.
