I'm looking for plans for a homebuilt seed dryer to dry the seeds from
my garden. It could be either solar or electric powered. If anyone can
direct me to an appropriate site etc. I'd be appreciative.

Also if someone could send me the URL for vendors/manufacturers of home
garden type seed dryers I'd appreciate that.

TIA,

I should have further explained...

Weigh an amount of silica gel equal to the weight of your seeds or
whatever you are drying etc...


Storing seeds prepared this way, and then stored in the freezer will
maintain them for a long long time. I have seeds that have been in
the freezer for ten years that I planted this year and germ was as
good as new.
