Loren,
This is one of those questions which will initiate several different
responses. I store my seeds in small film containers. Each container holds
up to 6 seeds with a dissident packet (silica) to absorb moisture. The film
containers are then placed in a hermetically sealed jar with an additional
dissident pack (large) on top. The jars are kept at the back of the
refrigerator just above freezing. Every 12 months I change the dissident,
bake at 200F for 24 hrs. and they are re-usable! Just my preference, there
are other methods!
Hope this helps!

>I need some ideas on how to store seeds. Should I use jars or plastic
containers, boxes or cans? What should I use to keep the seeds dry while
in storage? Can you use a vacuum seal of any type, jar,bag,or what ever.
We have an extra refrigerator to keep them in if needed.
