Title: Dehumidifier...
Post by: MD2812 on January 10, 2012, 11:01:12 PM: Odd question I know,

So I finally got my cricket kit brought down from the midlands to my new place in London.

Due to a damp wall I have a dehumidifier in my room, my cricket kit is now in my room, with my bats inside.

Is this likely to dry my bats out, although they are in a bat cover/kit bag?

It nearly killed my plant Wilson :(

That's just as likely to dry the bat out mate...
