‘Survival Seed Bank’ sounds like one of those recycled ‘Y2K’ outfits...way overpriced, and some those seeds aren’t going to do that well in certain areas of the country.

Yeah, there's some pretty good deer food in the mix.

After hearing the ads I thought it would mostly be corn, tomatoes, carrots, all kinds of legumes, etc. Most of the stuff is for salads and has limited nutritional value.

sounds like?

Actually it’s an excellent way to get and store seed for years and years and years......as in 20 when seeds won’t be available.

Forgive my ignorance, but I would appreciate some help. I plan on clearing an acre of weed trees in my back yard and starting a big garden-just in case. I am going to have a ton of firewood and compost.

What are heirloom seeds and how long do they keep? Is there a good book/website for learning how to save seeds and learning how to preseve. I assume potatoes pack a lot of calories? Any other suggestions on what to plant on an acre in the North East-we live on a ridge and get a to of precipation-I have heard the soil in my are is awesome.

Any help would be aprreciated.
