Even though they might have heard information about the benefits of using non hybrid seeds to grow fresh produce, not many folks understand what those benefits are. Instead of having to buy seeds each season to maintain your garden, you can use the seeds from non hybrid plants to set up a sustainable garden; produce grown will be extremely nutritious and can help you save money on groceries too. These seeds are not hard to locate; you can get them from your own natural crops or from seed banks and growers who collect heirloom seeds.
The best seeds to keep in an emergency garden kit or survival seed bank are non hybrid seeds. More and more people are getting concerned about the future of the world's food stores and whether or not they will be able to have food for their loved ones in case of a food shortage. Collecting a personal stock of non hybrid seeds is one solution to these concerns since they can be used to set up a personal sustainable garden.
Hybrid seeds that have been specially bred or genetically altered may not be able to sprout or reproduce properly. Genetic alterations have made seeds that grow into normal mature plants and give produce but do not give off any seeds. While this works for modern commercial growers, an emergency garden needs to be sustainable to be truly beneficial. All survival garden kits should have non hybrid seeds in order to ensure that the plants will reproduce correctly.
Unless you know what seeds were used and how they were cared for, it is impossible to determine the true nutritional value of the fruits and vegetables you eat. Nutrition is not the typical trait that is sought after when farmers breed seeds; instead, they look for the best color, pest resistance, size, and durability. Since no genetic changes have been made to non hybrid seeds they can produce the best quality foods for your family to enjoy.
Growing your own fresh produce by using non hybrid seeds accomplishes more than just help you prepare for the future; it can also help you start saving money today. Once you purchase your first set of seeds, your garden will naturally reproduce seeds that you can plant and cultivate again season after season. Non hybrid seeds allow you to set up a sustainable garden that will save you money and keep your family healthy no matter what the future may bring.
