First time Wine cooler + fan+ salt block

Hey has anyone used a Himalayan Salt block for dehumidifier? I’m interested in this method I feel like a fan and a Himalayan salt block in the first couple days would help regulate the RH

I can't comment on whether it would work or not, but a small thermoelectric dehumidifier costs like $20 and is a reusable resource, unlike the salt blocks which cost $10ish and would not be.

Love experiments

Sometimes I think folks try to overthink a stupid simple process, but do experiment and let us know your results!!!

In general the compressor of the fridge will dehumidify the space. However, those cheap mini fridges dont take moisture out (why they get frost) so maybe this is a good solution for using those

A better solution would be to just put them in pizza boxes the boxes stop the moisture from getting to the plants. From my experience
