On page 10 of the March 1999 issue of Consumer Reports, the Wallo'Water and W.O.W. are reviewed. They liked the Wallo'Water. If anyone is interested in purchasing a set, I would suggest looking at the one Gardeners Supply has to offer. They have a unique design that allows you to fill up just one channel instead of 18. I have not personally used one, but have ordered one now from www.gardeners.com after reading the CR article.

John, I been meaning to find and post a list of seeds and how long they are good for, but haven't located it.

Most seeds are good for at least a year or two(though the germination % will be noticeable reduced).

Off the top of my head, I know tomato, spinach, cabbage family, and beans are fine.

I think the squash family plants have a limited shelf life though. As well as most mellons, and I can't remember, but I think corn is good for a number of years too.

A good rule of thumb, if they are a staple in any cultural diet, they usually have a long storage life. Kinda mother natures way of keeping us alive during bad growing seasons.

Good luck, and let us know how they work.
