    Hello, I am wondering how everyone stores / organizes their seed packets. Currently I just have jumbles of packets in zip lock bags. I am trying to figure out a way to organize. I was looking on line and the seed storage boxes being sold for that purpose are going for like $50. That's pretty expensive for a wooden or tin box. Anyone have any good ideas for a cheaper way to do it?

    A shoebox, if you can spare one or pry it away from the missus. Make dividers of scrap card stock or thin cardboard. Store in freezer.

    Dollar store plastic storage boxes ! About $3. File folders with tab and cut to fit inside. They come in all sizes and I always have file folders. I just cut the part with the tab to fit the container.

    Best not in the freezer though. That sends the seeds into deep sleep and they are harder to wake up. Better in the salad drawer of a domestic fridge.
