Hello all,
Another question for you...... My Mother now says that she would like a seed box with a dehumidifier! Have I understood this wrongly? A quick search of the internet has revealed that people mainly seem to suggest that this is required for growing canabis (which I am fairly sure is not what she's planning to do in her 60's...... but who knows!!! She has recently invested in solar pannels to cut her electricity bills..... anyway I digress)

I couldn't find anywhere that actually sells one of these things. What are they for? Should I be looking for one under a different name? Where could I get one from? What do i look for in a good one?

Sorry to bombard you with questions but as you can see I need help!

Thanks again

xxxx

I've never heard of a seed box with a dehumidifier, but working it out, a seed box is somewhere you store seeds - a dehumidifier removes moisture from the air, so is she meaning a box in which she can store seed which will keep them dry?

I would of thought like Kennyboy A heated propagator with a "thermostat", that or she really does want to cultivate the Herb and knows a little more about it than you or I.

Oh Pimpernel! I hope you're not trying to insinuate that her mother's a drug dealer? Haha.

Seriously, I can't understand why you would want to dehumidify a plant, when most plants prefer humidity? If a plant needs dry air, why not just put the plant in a centrally heated room?

I think Kennyboy is right about a propagator. I think you should talk with your mother and try and work out what she means. I once asked my mother what she wanted for her birthday. She told me she would like a George Formby grill. She meant a George Foreman grill... Mothers! Haha

I think Bamboo has the right of it a seed box to store seeds in where they will remain dry.

thank you for all your advise.

I THINK she probably means a 'dry' seedbox but I have my father trying to find out!

If it is a 'dry seed box' is this something special....?
Should it be made of something special or are we talking old biscuit tin?????????

Thanks again for your help!

There are fancy seed storage tins..with little pigeon holes. But a biscuit tin is just the ticket.

Not if mum wants it as a Christmas present then the lovely boxes with places for different packets is the ticket.
