Not everyone uses purchased planting material: some are accustomed to growing it themselves.

Also, sometimes after the summer season you may discover that not all the seeds were used.

In such cases, the issue of correct storage becomes very relevant.

What options are worth considering?

Reusing baby food containers

Many summer residents share the position that this is the best container for storage. The jars, of course, should first be washed and dried.

Then we send the seeds, close the lid and store in any convenient place. If you want the planting material to undergo stratification, you can store the containers right at the dacha all winter.

Paper

This is also a good option for storing planting material. It is best to make envelopes from paper yourself and store them at home.

Polyethylene with zip-lock

This storage method is perfect for planting material. A special lock will reliably protect the seeds from moisture and other adverse factors.
