Seed Saving - storage recommendations please

[northepaul]

Hi
I would like to start saving my own seeds properly and wondered what everyone used to store them in and where to get them?
I have seen various different things, little envelopes, little poly bags, etc, which is best?
I have not managed to find any for a good price, could you recommend somewhere to buy them please?

These look a decent price

I mentioned before about the bags for coins you get from the bank, free?

Of course, you can make your own...

I'm not sure if the plastic money bags would be any good for keeping seeds - wouldn't they 'sweat'? Just a thought

Not sure piskie,

that's why I posted before to see if there were any down sides?

Real seeds are big on seed saving and they sell little plastic bags, so guessing they think it is ok to save in plastic

Ah, that's good to know ES - I wasn't sure about the sweating, just know I would if I was wrapped in plastic

This isn't a problem as the seeds must be 100% dry before putting them into their final storage place.

I use a mixture of sealed poly bags and the brown wage slip packets you can buy as shown by piskieboots. My MIL sinply uses brown envelopes.

I bought some small brown envelopes that my kids used to take money to school in. a bit smaller than wage packets.
