Seed Saving Screens

These screens are built to last, and their sturdy design ensures you won’t lose seeds while cleaning. The interlocking sides keep the screens steady, making your job a whole lot easier.

With these screens, you can easily sort and clean your seeds; they are a must-have for gardeners and homesteaders who want to save their own seeds and grow the same varieties year after year.

These screens are designed to be passed down through generations of gardeners, as they are built with durable materials.

Q: Can I use the screens for wet seeds such as tomatoes and cucumbers?
A: These screens are best for dry processing. For wet seeds, we recommend fermenting and rinsing separately then drying thoroughly before storing.
