[quote:22f40939bc="DMTripper"]I have 500gr. of whole rootbark and I took half of it and put it dry in a blender and I don't think it's working too good. I was thinking if I should put water with it and mix it and then let the water evaporate on a tray?How do you guy's deal with whole rootbark?    Has anyone tried to blend it with water?[/quote:22f40939bc]    First, SWIM needs a strong blender, then break it up into chunks and constantly pulse the unit to get it too powder and move the pieces at the same time - there's a rythmn to it, but the constant pulsing works well  but can take probably 20 minutes in your case to shred it down adequately -  watch out for that pink dust afterwards.
