Some of the stuff I have been reading says to freeze them, I have personally not done this but hopefully someone on here can give us some more info. Here is some of the info I have ran across. [i]The best way to store seed long term is in sealed glass containers with a desiccant pack. These should be put in the oven at 200 degrees for 30 minutes to remove all moisture. Then they can be sealed in a jar of seed and left sitting on the counter for a week to remove the moisture. Then put the jar in the freezer. Seed stored this way will give good to very good germination for at least 5 years and can make it up to 10 years[/i]. :dwsmile: :tardis22: [i][color=blue][face=Tahoma]~The Doctor[/face][/color][/i] [/quote] I have been wondering about this also. Ok so after you removed the moisture and seal the jar and freeze it what happens when the power goes out? Can you store seeds by not freezing them? [/quote] Thanks for all the info :peace: [/quote]

I made these vacuum tubes out of pvc some years ago that I store food and stuff in, like rice, powdered milk, medicines etc.
I'm thinking of filling one with seeds but don't know if I should put them in an airless environment or not.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
