    I have an old lunch box with the lid removed that I use and keep it on top of the fridge. I store seeds I have collected myself in sealed brown envelopes and they go in the same container. Never had any issues with non germination.

    I have a big envelope that I hang in the airing cupboard with the other seed bags inside it, the cupboard now holds the central heating boiler no problems

    Old ice cream tub, seeds in labelled envelopes and a sachet of silica gel to tackle rogue moisture. Keep the tub in the garage or shed
