HAGA Expert Predicts People Without Survival Seeds May be Ill Prepared for Coming Hardship

Carson City, NV, September 21, 2014 --(PR.com)-- An expert at Home and Garden America today predicted that people who don't have a survival seed bank may be ill prepared for many of the coming hardships that America will face in the near future. Many people today think that there is some kind of looming disaster awaiting the world because there is so much turmoil and unrest.

Everywhere one turns there is news of one sort or another about wars, rumors of wars, famine, earthquakes and other natural or manmade disasters. Having some kind of survival plan and the items a person or family would need to survive a short term or long term disaster situations seems to make a lot of sense to many.

Of course, an emergency supply of fresh drinking water and some food, that will keep for an extended period, should be among the first things to consider in such a plan. However, thinking out a couple months, after that emergency food supply is depleted, one should consider survival seeds as a necessity.

Seeds can be sprouted rather quickly, in a matter of days, to supply some highly nutritious, energy packed food while the garden is being prepared and grown. Once a garden has matured, the produce that is harvested will supply a long term, inexhaustible supply of seeds for future use.

There are many ways in which survival seeds are packaged and sold today and many of these methods actually harm the seeds and will cause them not to grow at all or will lessen the germination rate at which the seeds produce. For instance, storing them in a non-airtight container can lead to the seeds germinating early. Even though seeds can be stored successfully by freezing them, for the long term, moisture content in the seeds, that exceeds 8% can cause the seeds to split, thereby ruining them for further use.

Proper preparation and storing is a big part of being prepared and will determine how well or if a person will survive after the disaster.
