Storing Seeds and Building Your Own Survival Seed Bank

It’s easy to put off planning for the next gardening season when your beds are covered in a foot of snow. Right now it seems like it’s going to be forever until we can get back out there and start planting. However the winter months are a great time to do some indoor gardening projects to get ready for next season.

 

Today we are going to be discussing seed banks. Most prepper sites have gone over seed banks before, usually talking about the benefits of buying some overpriced, doomsday seed-bunker that shouldn’t be cracked open until the apocalypse is upon us.

 

I’m going to take a little bit of a different approach to seed banks today and hopefully give you guys some ideas on how to start your own seed bank for next to nothing and answer some commonly asked questions about seed banks.

 

When is the best time to buy seeds?

 

Most people think that the best time to buy seeds is at the beginning of the growing season. The selection is usually the best and if you keep an eye on the sales you can usually find a good deal. Typically the sales will run in a 3 week cycle, 2 weeks normal price, 1 week on sale. I agree, I get a lot of seeds that don’t store well more than a year at the beginning of the season on sale.

 

However…if you REALLY want to save some money and stock up on a ton of seeds for next to nothing you should buy as much of your seed as you can right after the gardening season is done in your area.

 

The best place I’ve found to get good deals on seeds is Dollar General. Dollar General usually has cheap seeds anyway even during the gardening season, but I went there a few weeks ago and essentially cleaned out everything that was left in their seed display. I brought 27 packets of seeds up to the counter. They rang in for a nickel a piece. 27 packets for $1.35+tax. Yeah you’re not going to find that kind of deal anywhere near gardening season.

 

I ended up with only 5 different varieties of seeds from this haul, but that’s more than OK with me, as I will simply add the extras to my growing stock of seeds.
