Seed Storage Tips for Growers
Whether you have a seed storage system that regulates temperature and humidity or something simpler, Benary experts recommend the following: Purchase seed in package sizes so that each open package is used within a week. Don’t store food or drinks in your seed cooler because the change in temperature can adversely affect temperature and humidity. Rotate your stock in storage and keep up with expiration dates so that you’re always using viable seed. Pull your seed from the cooler and let it acclimate to a moderate room temperature before planting to reduce condensation inside the packages. Source: Ornamental Breeder
Back up your data before installing Windows 10
Upgrading to Windows 10? Here’s a shot to-do list before upgrading. Get a backup drive, either an external hard drive or a USB flash drive that is large enough to hold your personal files. To back up your personal files and documents, go to the Windows User directory and copy and files that need to be saved onto the external drive. Make a list of programs you have installed that you want to keep; look at the entire Start Menu to find a list of these programs. Make sure you’re are able to reinstall these programs, either from a website or a disc. Also make sure you have any product keys needed for specific programs. Most upgrades go smoothly, but in case something goes awry, you will still have copies of all your important information.
