Quick Answer
Use Diggers Storage Seed Packets to keep your seeds dry, labelled, and sorted by season or type. Store them in a cool, dark place and check them before sowing for the best germination.
Why Use Dedicated Seed Packets?
If you save seeds from your own garden or keep leftover packets from season to season, you know how quickly they can get mixed up or lost. Dedicated storage packets protect seeds from light, moisture, and pests, and they make it easy to see what you have at a glance.
The Diggers Storage Seed Packets are made from durable, 100% ECO recycled paper. That means they are sturdy enough to hold seeds without tearing, and they are an eco-friendly choice for your garden organisation.
What to Write on Each Packet
A well-labelled packet is the key to a useful seed collection. Write the plant variety, the year you saved or bought the seed, and any special notes like 'soak overnight' or 'sow in autumn'. This information helps you sow at the right time and track seed freshness.
If you are storing seeds you saved yourself, add the date you harvested them. Seeds lose viability over time, so knowing the age helps you decide which packets to use first.
How to Organise Your Seeds in 5 Steps
- Sort your seeds: Gather all your seed packets and sort them into groups: vegetables, herbs, flowers, or by season (spring, summer, autumn). Discard any packets that are wet, damaged, or past their use-by date. Check for moisture or mould before storing.
- Label each packet: Write the plant name, variety, and the year on the front of each Diggers Storage Seed Packet. Add any specific sowing notes on the back. Use a waterproof pen so labels stay readable.
- Fill with seeds: Place the seeds inside the packet. Fold the top flap down securely to keep seeds from spilling out. Don't overfill – leave room for the packet to close flat.
- Store in a cool, dry place: Put your filled packets in a seed storage box or a tin. Keep them in a cool, dark spot like a cupboard or a fridge (not the freezer). Avoid damp areas like a shed that gets humid. Check the storage area for moisture regularly.
- Review before sowing: Before you sow, open each packet and check the seeds for any signs of mould or damage. If they look fine, sow as usual. If not, replace them with fresh seeds. Make a note of which seeds you need to buy next season.
