Bucket Storage and Gamma Lids












follow this link for more great tips http://www.tammysrecipes.com/node


When you store you 5 or 6 gallon buckets remember to stagger stack (pyramid style) your buckets. Over the years, if buckets are stacked directly on top of each other the lid weakens and caves in - just ask me how I know!








Gamma Seal Lids are also a great way to use your product directly from the bucket keeping things fresh and bug free. The gamma lids have a rubber seal that spins on and off making it airtight, waterproof seal that is easy to get into.

I purchase mine at Emergency Essentials. They have a flat shipping rate, so check with your friends and combine your orders!









If you have any questions, just let me know

Do you purchase your bulk grains in buckets or did you get yours from another source? I'm starting a storage program but find the cost of buckets daunting. Thanks!

lauralynne, I have purchased my wheat both in buckets and bulk. I prefer bucketed :), the cost is about the same if you had to purchase the empty bucket and oxy packs, but much easier! My favorite place to order is WheatMontana.com and BePrepared.com. Always check to see what the gluten content of your wheat before you purchase though. Sometimes they will have a bad year (2007 crop came in very low). Hope this helps, let me know if you need anything. Mindi
