<meta charset="utf-8"> <p>The<span> </span><strong>Piggy Bank</strong><span> </span>is recommended for one or two adults wishing to supplement their diet with fresh, nutritious,<span> </span><em><strong>truly</strong></em><span> </span>organic produce.</p> <p>Enough seed is provided for a year-round garden for two, along with an excess to hold in reserve in case a particular crop does not do well. However, couples who are looking at their seed bank as a food safety net in the event of an economic collapse or societal disruption should purchase a<span> </span><strong>Lock Box</strong>. The larger bank will provide a greater cushion in the event of a crop failure.</p> <p>The<span> </span><strong>Piggy Bank</strong><span> </span>does not come with any training manuals, but it does come with a laminated<span> </span><strong>Texas Ready Mittleider Gardening Chart</strong>. So unless you are an experienced vegetable gardener, we strongly suggest that you purchase a copy of<span> </span><strong><em>The Mittleider Gardening Course</em></strong>. (Or <em><strong>The Vegetable Gardener's Bible</strong></em>, if you choose not to grow using the Mittleider method.) We consider these books to be the instruction manuals for our seed banks, as it provides detailed instructions on how to cultivate each variety in your bank. The other books offered on our website are also strongly recommended for those wishing to maximize their harvest and pursue a lifestyle of true self-sustainability.</p> <p>The varieties included in this<span> </span><strong>Liberty Seed Bank</strong><span> </span>are suitable for all USDA Growing Zones in the continental US and should perform well in your area.<span> </span><strong><a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0555/2544/1727/files/2021_Seed_List.pdf?v=1623197054" target="_blank">Click here</a></strong><span> </span>to see a list of varieties you may expect to find in your bank.</p> <div id="short_description_block" data-mce-fragment="1"> <div id="short_description_content" class="rte align_justify" data-mce-fragment="1" itemprop="description"> <h2 data-mce-fragment="1" align="center"><strong data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">Features</span></strong></h2> <ul data-mce-fragment="1"> <li>70+ Varieties Included</li> <li>Over 10,000 Seeds (2 lbs)</li> <li>Designed to provide the annual nutritional produce needs for 2 Adult Units</li> <li>All seeds are non-GMO, non-hybrid, open-pollinated heirloom type varieties</li> <li>All seeds are certified and have germination rates in excess of the USDA requirements for each particular variety</li> <li>Suitable for all locations in the continental United States (and Hawaii)</li> <li>Varieties susceptible to fungal infections, infestations and/or viruses may be treated in order to boost hardiness and production</li> <li>Comes packed in a re-sealable steel US Army Ammo Box</li> </ul> <p><em><strong>Also included are the following materials:</strong></em></p> <ul> <li>Texas Ready Mittleider Gardening Chart</li> </ul> </div> </div>
