Non-Hybrid Seeds FAQ Frequently Asked Questions |
|
Why should I use non-hybrid (open pollinated) rather than hybrid seeds?
- Better Nutrition – Commercial Produce lacks nutrition, research has shown.
- Economic Security – In recessions and depressions, FOOD IS ECONOMIC SECURITY
- Food Supply Independence – If food supplies or supply-lines are challenged, home gardening is freedom.
What are Heirloom seeds?
Heirloom seeds are old strains of open pollinated seeds. Varieties that were commonly grown during earlier periods in history and which are typically not being used in large-scale agriculture. Many heirloom vegetables have kept their traits through open pollination.
Why should I buy Heirloom Organics Non-Hybrid Seed Packs?
Can I open my seeds, use some and re-seal them for storage?
Yes. A Food sealer works great to reseal the packages.
How should I store my seeds once I receive them?
All you need is a cool dark place. The cooler and darker the better. Freezing is best. Seeds can be stored about 5 years in a cool dark place. Freezing the seeds can double the lifespan, or better.
