My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Drying poorly stored seeds

13 years ago

I have a gallon bag of all kinds of seeds that had been stored in a shed all summer. I'd like to put them up for long term storage. Would it be ok to put these seeds in my food dehydrator with the heat set to 95 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 hours or so to dry them out a bit? Anyone ever done this or should I just go ahead and put them in the freezer and not worry about the moisture content?
