I keep my seed, still in their packets, in old Ocaldo powder paint tubs - totally air tight.  The only seed that I am planning on buying will be parsnip and squash (as I only have a limited range at the moment) the rest will all come from stuff I have already got and will only replace when I run out.

I now have so many seeds i have one for small veg seeds, one for large veg seeds, one for green manures and one for flowers.
