Is a Survival Seed Bank Enough For Urban Survival? by Neil Luna
Here is what you need for a good home survival seed kit to start your crisis garden.
Non-Hybrid Seeds.
Non-hybrid seeds, also called open-pollinated seeds, are original strains of that particular vegetable. They have not been genetically engineered or bred for mass production on the large factory type farms of today. Non-hybrid seeds are just seeds, and they contain higher levels of nutritional content.
Non-hybrid seeds also store very well, and can be saved and re-planted over and over, ensuring that you and your family have a perpetual, sustainable supply of organic vegetables in your garden. Also look for heirloom seeds, which are varieties of vegetables that are not grown in large-scale agriculture and have therefore kept their natural nutritional traits.
Types Of Seeds.
Think about your climate, and what will grow best there. Generally, choose hardy vegetables, like tomatoes, lettuce, onions and carrots that will grow easily. For a crisis garden, you want to get as much nutrition as you can in as little space as you can. A good selection of seeds for your survival seed kit are onions, cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, radish, peas, corn and beans.
Storing The Seeds.
Keeping your seed bank away from heat and light is vital for long-term storage. Storing them in an air-tight environment is another way to extend their shelf life. You can vacuum-seal your non-hybrid seeds and freeze them, or put oxygen absorbers in an airtight container, like a canning jar, and freeze or store in a cool dry, dark place. You can store new seeds this way, and also the seeds you harvest from the mature vegetables in your garden.
Of course, once you have a good seed bank you will need to have a place to plant them! A good book on organic gardening will help you figure out how to plan and care for your crisis garden using natural methods. And even if a disaster never happens, a good survival seed bank means you will always have a ready supply of healthy, organic vegetables at home for you and your family to enjoy season after season!
Survival seed banks have become increasingly popular over the last year or so. These are kits with seeds in them that can be saved for a few years that can in many cases grow up to an acre of food in times of need. It’s kind of the ultimate backup plan for a survivalist when it comes to food. But is something like a survival seed bank enough for urban or city survival?
There is nothing wrong with relying on growing food to have food in a time of need or longer term disaster. But you still need something for today if you are in that situation. A survival seed bank will work appropriately assuming that you are plant and start at the right point of the year.
What you need for today is some food stored away that you can actually eat right now. Make sure that you have two weeks or better yet a thirty day supply of food that you can rely on at any point in time.
For fresh greens growing them from your seed bank is an option but also consider using sprouts. Sprouts like alfalfa, broccoli, wheat, and others can be grown in a jar with just water in about four day to a week’s time.
