Hi!
So this is not a question about Freezers or dark and cool places to keep seeds.
I might want to go beyond ziplocks as my storage container for seeds as I live in a place where electricity goes on and off and the seeds in my fridge might suffer from sudden temperature changes or humidity (it’s hot and humid where I live). I’ve seen in a few pictures some cool boxes where growers keep their seeds. My only option right know is this one which is used to transport insulin.
Anyhow, just wanted to check on some other ideas and share some options.
thanks!

if your power goes out and your fridge or freezer isnt opened it will stay cold for a day or two but as long as they are kept in a cool dry place with not much temp fluctuation thats the most important

I have to admit I am horrible about storing my seeds. I just have them in a zip-lock in a drawer :haha:. The thing is if they are more than a couple of years old their chance of ever getting planted is slim. Not because they are old; I am always getting new strains - I am a seed whore and yesterdays strains are passe.

Last order of nematodes came in a small cooler, it's been repurposed. Need a second so I can split up the auto/photo... small enough to fit the bottom shelf of the fridge.

FWIW, I use a mason jar partially filled with rice baked to dry it out, placed in the back of the fridge. Worked a treat so far. :biggrin:
