A good emergency preparedness practice is NOT planting all of your seed… save some of each harvested seed variety so that you always have extra emergency garden seed on hand to plant and replace with the next seasons harvest. However, it is best to use most of your home-harvested seed the following growing season. Seeds from many plants can remain VIABLE for years if properly stored at cool – to frozen – temperatures. Storing Survival Garden Seeds – Home Harvested If possible, a refrigerator or freezer is an excellent environment for storing survival garden seeds. Mark the containers with the seed names and date, then store them in a cool dark place. A moisture-proof container is one that stores seed safely while submerged in water. Sealed cans or jars, are better for seed storage than plastic bags. Once seeds are completely dry, place them in airtight moisture-proof storage containers. Wheat, beans, peas, corn and other large seeds should shatter and turn to powder when hit with the head of a hammer.Longer seeds should snap smartly and cleanly in half when bent.These 2 simple methods are a easy way to tell if the seeds have been dried to a proper moisture level of around 8 percent or less. Test To See If Seeds Are Dry Enough To Store: Conventional oven: Keep the oven door open several inches, and make sure the seed is not heated to more than 100 degrees for 6 hours.Food dehydrator: Keep dehydrator setting at 100 degrees F for six hours.Using The Sun: Spread the seed out in the sunlight, use a thermometer, try to obtain 100 degree temperature for 6 hours.īecause sunlight is harsh and can easily exceed this temperature, drying in the shade may be a better option if the outside air temperature is approx. ![]() You may do this by – drying your seeds in the sun, with a food dehydrator, or by using a conventional oven. To do so, dry seeds at 100 degrees F for six hours. The drier the seeds are – the longer they will storeĪ 10-year storage life (or more) can be achieved by drying seed to less than 8 percent moisture.Constant cool to cold temperature (40 degrees or below).Remember these important factors when storing survival garden seeds: Storing your seeds properly will achieve the longest life possible. ![]() Good germination occurs when water and oxygen are present at a favorable temperature.īest seed storage results are obtained when seeds are kept dry (below 8 percent moisture – 4 percent is optimal) and the temperature is kept low (40 degrees or below). Whack stumps full of fatwood with a weapon.Conditions essential for properly storing survival garden seeds are just the opposite of those required for good germination. Use Dowsing Rod in Wonder Pond and Winter Glade bodies of water. Whack the Pith plant, which comes in three pieces, with a sickle Whack the white, square blocks with a sickle Use the Dowsing Rod in the Sewer's bodies of water ![]() In Summer's End, Lily Landing and others, whack plants with parasol or pick Whack the pale yellow, sandy blocks with pick or parasol ![]() Whack jars washed up on beaches with pick/parasol/hammer Use Dowsing Rod anywhere in Spring Hamlet Whack leafy overgrown stumps with pick/parasol/hammer Whack rocks with pick/parasol/hammer or use Dowsing Rod Whack rocks, Rots and sandstone with pick/parasol/hammer Use the Dowsing Rod to "fish" it from the water Whack stumps and Rots with pick/parasol/hammer For example, Cornerstone in Autumn Town can only be harvested with a sickle! If an object is sparkling, a resource can be harvested from it! Some resources can only be harvested with specific tools, which are also listed below. In general, the only way to collect resources is by hitting a sparkling object with Concord's weapon. Below is a table of resources and where to find them, as well as how to collect them. Some are only found in specific locations. There are many types of resources in The Grove some are found everywhere, like twigs and rocks.
