Bedding question

When you wash and then dry your orchid bark how do you dry it? When I sterilise mine in water i then move it to the oven leave it in for 30mins, take it out the top will be stone dry but the bottom will always be wet no matter if keep turning it, so yeah how do you dry yours?

You can always give it a good stir halfway through getting the damp stuff to the top . I have a hot heating extractor fan outside with a slab on top of it - the slab gets real warm and stays on for hours so I just leave the the orchid bark in a container on that ...

I forgot to mention that I sieve all the fine dust off before washing .
