    Workin at IT but have a garden

    Do you stockpile seeds for the next season and what methods do you use to keep them from spoiling?

    I store the seeds in my shed and put them in different paper envelopes so they don't spoil. I learned all this from the homestead essentials guide, which has many nuances on homesteading. I'm sure it will help you to improve your knowledge and your harvest.

    Yes, I do stockpile seeds for the next season, but I’ve learned that storage methods make a huge difference in how viable they stay. After harvesting, I always make sure the seeds are completely dry before putting them away since any moisture can cause mold. I usually store them in small paper envelopes, then place those inside an airtight glass jar with a little packet of silica gel or rice to absorb humidity. I keep the jar in a cool, dark place, like a basement or fridge. When I was researching Lawn Care Washington Utah, I actually picked up a few extra tips about seed preservation too.
