Is the item durable? how long are the seeds good for?

Seeds stay fresh for 1-2 years and for up to five years in a dark dry place no warmer than 72 degrees. I store my seeds in canning jars with metal tops for best seal. You can store the seeds in mason jars inside the fridge or freezer for longer life span too.

Yes, this item is very durable, its making good sprouts. I am sure these seeds should be good for few months.

Stored properly, they should be viable for two years for sure, perhaps three. If you just leave them in a cupboard, I'd guess 8 months. If you are looking for doomsday storage, there is proper equipment for long-term seed storage, but I know nothing about that.

Depending on how dry your herb is. If the herb is moderately close to the level/percent of the package you bought, they will last a year if the container is well sealed.

Rebecca, I would say this: If you're not planning to use them this year, you can prepare them for storage by using the methods you'll find on sites like Emergency Essentials (or similar others). They have the kind of supplies needed -- sealed bags, pails, etc.. They will preserve seeds & grains for at least several years. Always good to have some on hand. Good for you!!

Sorry, I don't really know. I've never had any seeds spoil, and I only use one or two tablespoons per day.

Most myler bag will protect seeds and survival type food 3-5 years that can be extended additional 1-2 years if kept in cool dark place or deepfreezer

Whole seeds in a sealed jar will last for a couple of years. In an opened jar, a little less. If you grind them in your spice mill, then the meal will oxidize faster, so maybe you should seal it in a zip bag, press out the air, and pop it in the freezer. The meal is more nutritious than the whole seeds, so give your grinder a spin. And yes, the gold variety is just as tasty and healthful as the brown variety.

I bought them May 20th 2014.And they still work perfectly,I keep good care of the things I buy, but I imagine it won't last long if you purposefully smash it with a hammer.With care, it can last a long time.Sound quality is great though.

I bought these for storage and have not used them as yet so can't really say how they are ...berries last a long time and not so long when ground but here is the web site of the growers where you can contact them ; http://palousebrand.com//index.html

I dont know how many years you can store them but this is the second year I am using these seeds and they are still growing.

They are very durable. I use them to store deer quarters for a few days in cold storage with salt water. I then wash them out and reuse them year to year. They appear to be safe. When I wash them out I use a mild bleach solution.

It forms an airtight seal. So it depends on what you put in it. If you use it for coffee it stays fresh for months, like four or so as coffee generally does not have any bacteria that makes it decompose and there wont be any getting into the seal. The same goes for most seeds. But if you put something like, say, a piece of celery or a piece of an apple, it may only be a few days - depending on the temperature. That's a good experiment to try.

I bought them at the first of spring. One arrived crushed. The other intact. They replaced the crushed one. I straightened it out and caulked it and use it for shallow plants....and all are pretty tough. I'm guessing these are going to last me at least two or three seasons, if not more. The color may fade in the sun, but again...the plastic is tough. They don't work like they say, though. That nifty water pipe system is crap. I water with a hose every few days, and it does tent to do pretty good. I would rebuy or recommend for the purpose(carrots and herbs), and if put up out of the ice, I believe these will store well.

It depends. The company claims that the seeds will last 10 years; however, I am always suspicious of this. If the seeds are kept in a cool, dry place then yes, they will last a long time.

I always keep the seeds in the refrigerator and have had no problem with sprouting as long as a year after purchase. I learned the hard way that if seeds are stored in a place that's too warm, it will cause them to fail to sprout even after a few months.

I check the box and didn't see any expiration date (usually its one or two years depending on the type of plant). But since the plants will give you new usable seeds you just need to save some when it is time.

It's not as durable as I would've liked but as long as you treat it gently it should last a while. If you play frequently then I would not recommend it, but our family plays a couple of times a year and it has held up so far. The legs and the beanbags could be better made and I do see problems arising from both in the near future. Overall I would give it a B-.
