What are Non Hybrid Seeds?
What's wrong with hybrid vegetable seeds.
On the surface, you would think that there is an advantage to hybrid vegetables, and in some was there is. Many hybrids are resistant to certain types of infestation, or grow better in some regions than non-hybrid seeds. The problem happens when you try to save seeds from your hybrids so you can grow another crop. In many cases, you'll find that the seeds of hybrids don't germinate, or don't produce the healthful variety of vegetable you wanted. Genetically modified, or GMO, vegetables create a different problem, since they are owned by the companies that made them and laws prevent farmers from simply taking the seeds and growing more vegetables.
With non-hybrid seeds, you can get seeds to store in hermetically sealed seed vault buckets which will ensure that you can grow seeds years from now if the need arises. In the event of a food crisis, which could be caused by a sudden drop in energy production, people would be reduced to subsistence agriculture. Non Hybrid Seeds ensure continuity and give you an added level of security because bartering for food usually works best when you're the one with the food. If you want to provide for you family, group, or community, an investment in non-hybrid seeds could be the best money you ever spend. Even if you're not expecting an apocalypse any time soon, the act of gardening is highly rewarding, and organic gardening allows you to use resources that are at your disposal, not expensive pesticides and fertilizers .
Notes and Special Information
Special note: Seeds aren't the only way to survive a societal collapse, but in the event of an emergency the need for backyard agriculture will become readily apparent. Get your seeds now, and learn planting techniques while you still have time to practice, so you don't make mistakes later on that could be disastrous.
