Living Seeds: 10 Year Seed Bank.
The long-term storage of seed presents a number of issues that we have overcome with this product offering. The biggest issue is that seeds have differing viability, most Seed Banks have all of the seed in one single collection, this requires knowledge from the seed saver to ensure that they keep all of the varieties fresh. In addition once opened to remove some seed the integrity of the entire collection is compromised.
As with anything in life: You need the gear and you need the knowledge. Half of the solution is having the seeds on hand AND just as importantly being a somewhat accomplished gardener to begin with.
This takes time and resources, some sweat and some tears. However the rewards are worth it. At the very least one gains the sense of accomplishment. In a worst case grid down scenario you can survive and thrive.
The Livingseeds Survival Seed Banks are a unique set of three containers, each with two Mylar pouches containing identical sets of seed. The huge benefit of this system is that it gives you options. With your seed banks stored in the two separate, sealed Mylar pouches, you are able to be use each one individually, share with someone in need, split across locations or trade / sell for other items. Or you may not be a fan a particular vegetable and would barter for a seed you do like.
The three seed banks have a 4 year, 6 year and 10 year shelf life based on the types of seed contained in each seed bank. The shelf life of these seed banks is conservatively based on storing seed in a temperature stable environment without major fluctuations. A cool dry shady cupboard or shelf is ideal. Keep out of direct sunlight or places that are exposed to sunlight during the course of the day.
