He is using the paper bag to hide what he is actually drying.

problem is you ask a question like that round here, and the whole county will think you're growing before the next morning

I don't use the bags, either, and you might want to consider a fan. It's pretty humid here, and I'd imagine the same there. I keep a box fan running on low to keep the air moving. When they get about 3/4 dry, I put them IN paper lunch bags, open at the top, hanging from clothespins, to catch the "crumbs", before I grind them all up.

We always dried our herb by hanging it from it's roots in my friend's basement........different times I guess.

I did have a nitwit friend that tried to dry it in the microwave, talk about a fiasco.
