Seed Storage Solutions for the Plant-Obsessed
Introduction
If you’re like me, you love collecting plant seeds. Vegetable seeds, flower seeds, herb seeds – I can’t resist them! But with so many seeds, finding a good place to store them can be a challenge.
The Problem with Seed Storage
I don’t have a lot of space, so I usually cram my seeds into any empty spot I can find. But this can make it difficult to find what I need when I need it. I’ve even spent hours walking around in circles, trying to remember where I put a particular seed packet.
The Seedy Side of Town
To solve this problem, I came up with a creative solution: the “Seedy Side of Town.” It’s a simple yet effective way to organize and store my seed collection.
Using a 3-Ring Binder for Seed Storage
The Seedy Side of Town is nothing more than a large 3-ring binder filled with archival sleeves. I use these sleeves to safely house all my seed packets and envelopes of seeds I’ve harvested myself.
Organizing Seed Packets
I organize my seed packets into specific categories, such as fruits and vegetables, flowers, and herbs. Each category is also in alphabetical order, so I can easily find what I’m looking for.
Tracking Seed Inventory
As I use up seed packets, I can keep track of what needs to be replaced. I also keep extra archival sleeves on hand for new additions to my collection.
Benefits of the Seedy Side of Town
The Seedy Side of Town has many benefits:
- It’s easy to use and organize.
- It keeps my seed collection safe and protected.
- It helps me track my seed inventory.
- It fits easily on a shelf, so it’s always within reach.
Quirky Seed Storage Ideas
