Storing seeds

Post by Mallard »

My pal on the allotments stores saved seeds in the foil type bags you get cup-a soup in, which is the sort of material the little inner bags in seed packs are made from. >veg5<
I've just done a fruitless search for suitable bags. Lots of polythene and paper but not foil! :?
I suppose I shall have to start looking in bins now, if I do it in my gardening gear they'll just think I'm a tramp! )j;
Suggestions please?

have you tried e-bay - THESE look suitable for seeds and can be heat sealed using an iron if you don't have anything else (£9 for 50 free p&p)

Thanks for that! )t'
Just found some packet soup at the back of the cupboard with 2012 sell by, so I've got a start!
