subject: A Sound Investment: Buy Seed Packets [print this page] Instead of putting money into depreciating dollar-based investments, why not start a seed bank, which will only appreciate in value?
Rather than buying portfolios of stocks, shouldnt you be buying a plethora of seed packets?
Gasoline prices are heading north, and grocery prices are right behind them. This is why one of the best investments for the future is to buy seed packets preferably heirloom, non-hybrid, non-GMO organic seeds.
When setting out to buy seed packets, its important to select the best, healthiest, and most productive varieties. Heirloom bulk seeds are pedigreed strains that come from a time prior to the use of pesticides and herbicides. Most heirlooms come in seed packets explaining their background and benefits.
If you want to buy seed packets that will yield natural, delicious produce, heirlooms are the best option. Unlike hybrid or Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) seeds, heirloom bulk seeds are natural, and can be collected and re-used for years. Hybrid seeds are produced by splicing together at least two separate varieties. GMO seeds may contain genes from non-plant species. This is one critical detail that will not show up in any food labels or seed packets.
Yes, there are advantages to GMO bulk seeds. However, we dont know enough about genetic science to understand fully the trade-offs involved in such modifications, particularly with respect to the health impact on those who eat GMO foods. Investing in bulk seeds will save money in the long run, both in grocery bills and in health care costs related to bad diet.
Non-hybrid, non-GMO organic bulk seeds can be recovered and re-planted. The chief advantage here is the ability to preserve a pure strain and to enhance the self-sufficiency of the farmer and consumer. If you choose to buy seed packets that are natural now, you wont spend so much on vitamin supplements, medicine, or health care bills later.
Carrots, cucumbers, cruciferous vegetables of all kinds, melons, beans, tomatoes, squash, peppers these and countless other delicious, healthy foods can be home-grown, saving money and enhancing the quality of life. Gardening is one of the healthiest ways to spend your time, especially if its family time: Getting children involved in planting and tending a garden is a fun way to instill discipline and teach self-reliance. All of this begins with a seed supply and organic, non-GMO bulk seeds are the best choice for people looking to start a family gardening tradition.
