Now I lean more toward the idea that retaining ANY moisture probably IS a Somewhat Bad Thing unless you seal the Ziplocs and some desiccant inside a larger container that keeps out household humidity.

However, I'll never change over to paper because of the other advantages of Ziplocs. I'm just going to be more careful about drying all the way (with desiccant) before zipping them closed, and storing with desiccant (inside a larger jar with a good seal).

- easy to see how many seeds are left and inspect for insects
- easy to open and close many times (scoop, pour, divide and consolidate)
- easy to read a small-print label inside the Ziploc
- re-usable
- cheaper than paper
