How to store seeds correctly: you need a shoebox – and the seeds will last until next season
It is no secret that many summer residents try to save money on buying seeds by collecting their own.
If you are one of them, listen to the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , who warns about one of the main factors that negatively affects the safety of seed material - about fluctuations in humidity.
Therefore, it is important to dry the seeds thoroughly and store them in an airtight container to prevent moisture from getting in.
This rule also applies to commercial seeds, which are often sold in paper bags.
To improve the preservation of seeds, you will need a box left over from buying a new pair of shoes - several silica gel packets are often left unused in it.
All you need to do is add silica gel to the seed package.
For half a glass of seeds, 3 bags are enough.
This will ensure excellent preservation of the seed material until the next season.
