What do you store your dry dirt in to keep it scentless?

Well kind of hard to get rid of dirt smell to make it scent less. All kidding aside. Make sure it’s bone dry and just store in buckets or totes.

Mine is in buckets, gallon milk jugs, ice cream pails, whatever I have with a lid I can put dry, sifted dirt. Mine is waxed.
I keep all of it my garage and hasn't been a problem on the line.


Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Bury it.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I store my mine in 5 gallon pails with lose fitting covers in an out building. Too many smells in my garage to absorb into the dirt (gas, oil, chemicals,etc).


Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

I store my waxed dirt in 34 gallon plastic garbage containers with a loose fitting lid so it can breath under an overhang. For on the line a 20 gallon tote with a tight lid. From truck to set site a 2 gallon bucket. Usually enough to gang set a location.


Common sense catches alot of fur..
Pay homage to all you harvest..
