Alternative seed saving containers
15.3 years ago cheap, seed saving, seed storing
When I am storing seeds for months at a time my homemade paper seed packets work great, but for seeds I seem to use many times throughout the year I was looking for a new option.
My solution was small plastic/metal resealable containers. They are small and do not take up too much extra space and securely close so now worries of reaching into my pocket do find it full of seeds (had this happen more than once) They are also water resistant (if not waterproof) so now worries about setting these down on some moist soil soaking the seeds.
You probably have many of these containers lying around your house from other products (prescription, OTC drugs, food containers, etc)
Unfortunately (I guess fortunately) I do not need prescription drugs too often and wasn’t smart enough to save any of my past containers so I opted to get some from an online supplier. This particular one many options for specifically for seed saving containers at very reasonable prices. I am also considering using these when I share seeds with others as gifts.
What sort of creative options have you used to store your saved seeds?
