    How is the best way to store seeds I have had really poor germination rates this year and have purchased some "proper" seed compost and this not made any difference.

    This would not be so bad if squash cucumber and other seeds were not so expensive

    I have been storing seeds in the office (normal room temperature)


    Any advice appreciated

    Thanks

    Dave

    Seeds need to be stored in cool, dark and dry conditions. Easiest way is in a sealed box in the fridge.
    Beware the end of season garden centre sell offs when the seeds have been in the sun for months
