Complete Garden
Kits
Rich's Complete Garden Kits are the perfect choice for
those who
wish to prepare for the future or to begin seed saving
in
earnest. Every heirloom variety
in these collections has been chosen for its adaptability and
toughness
and to allow maximum variety at minimal cost. Each Garden Kit
consists of bundles of our
standard seed packets or bulk packets, sealed in a metal
storage
container. Inside are all the seeds you need for
a
fabulous garden - or two. As always, Rich seeds are
responsibly grown
and are never genetically modified. Seeds stored
in these
containers will retain
viability for an average of 15 years. We offer several
different collections for large or small gardens and specific
needs.

and bulk seed
quantities in each kit.

30 Varieties of Heirloom Vegetables, Culinary and Medicinal Herbs. Over
9,000 seeds in each can listed below:
We sell seeds by weight, by packets with specific seed
count, and by
Complete Garden
Kits. Regarding the space requirements: We treat this
just
as 'MINIMUM REQUIRED'. Our recommendations for plant spacing
can
be found by following each of the variety links above. These
recommendations are based on hand cultivation, walking
between rows and
hoeing. If you use machines such as tiller or tractor,
you will
need to calculate your own row and plant spacing. If you
buy
seeds based on ground space that can be filled, do not be
surprised if
the seller hermetically sealed enough seeds to drive a truck
between
the rows. We will be glad to help with these calculations, send
your queries by email. Our #K5 Garden Kit will take approximately
an acre of ground for all of the seeds, using space
very conservatively. We like to recommend, as the most secure
approach, that half of the seeds be used for a season's planting,
and
half
be
retained
as
contingency
for
harvest failure (be prepared is our motto).
Thus
one
of
the reasons that we use resealable cans: you do not have to
commit to planting all of the seeds in the kit just because you wanted
to open the can once. Another
advantage to the
resealable can is being able to check stock at any time, including
initial cache. And mainly to be able to check for viability
at a
future date. For example, if a kit has been stored for 10 years,
and you wish to store longer, you can open the can in a cool, low humid
environment and remove samples of each seed lot in the can.
Reseal, and test the seeds for germination. A seed
needs a minimum moisture level to remain viable, and we suspect that a
vacuum may not be best for long term storage. We take a cue from
what we have seen of seeds that were propagated after ages in American
caves and African silos. Some seeds
will
retain viability longer than others. For more about relative
germination of different vegetable varieties see: Seed VIABILITY -
LONGEVITY On the outside label of the storage container
is the harvest/pack date and a list of items inside. On the inside each
seed variety is labeled with description and planting instructions.
