I need a label maker...i use masking tape and markers but the embroidery case is the shit !

But i have 45 to 50 of those things with different strains in them...you might want to fill the damned thing so get ready for that part !

A jewllery case would be nice..or say a dewey decimal card box....or a tea box. I will ponder this because i would like to also have a box to hold sealed breeder packs. and I want it to be fancy.
I might have to build it. I have a wicked set of tools and 2 rolls of gorilla tape...i can dooo eeeet.

the large tea box Inner dimensions of each compartment approx: 7 x 6 x 7.5 (H) cm / 2.75 x 2.36 x 2.95 (H) inch a bunch of colors and for a stupid price personalized engraving.

That's really nice, like a keepsake memento type box. You could bury that thing in a time capsule so upcoming generations can dig it up, open it and be all

Throw in some rice.


I throw in some desiccant packs for the pollen storage as well.

I as well used to use rice until someone I was following on IG made a post about rice and parasites. It was a macro photo shot of rice with all these gnarly little dudes running around. The intention of the post was to warn people about where they source their rice for seed storage. He went on to say that he uses organic basmati rice for storage. Now take that for whatever its worth, but it at least made me second guess putting rice naked around my seeds.

The desiccant packs are a nice touch though, might have to steal that from you. Akbeanbrains stored his beans in a freezer for decades and has 99% germination rates when going through those old packs. ?‍♂️ I think freezer storage is fine as long as you don't mess with anything. A garage storage fridge where you can put them in there and not touch it until its needed.

I appreciate the info. I haven't heard of that and it sounds pretty gross too. Parasites aside, the seeds are in their own container. then I place the seed container into a secondary one that's filled with the rice.

I do like the idea of using rice around containers. ? Let me see if i can dig up that post and screenshot it for ya. Good stuff to have in mind if nothing else.
