Thank you "seaeagle" I was in Hawaii during this topic. Learning for page 2-6 that "Fermentation used by us Legal Seed Savers also destroys Bacteria; as well as for your personal uses. But It "not the Chlorine found in household cleaning" but the Chlorine found in "Pool & Spa Store Supplies.
hearing this information you'll posted in 2016 http://www.tomatosolutions.ca/sitebu...les/tomdis.pdf
"Pectinaceous material surrounds the seed and must be
removed by fermentation, acid extraction, or pectinase prior to drying the seed. The extremely
rough surface of the seed coat due to the presence of these hairs provides an ideal protected
location for pathogenic bacteria to reside. Residual pectinaceous material may also cover the
bacteria and protect them once the seed has dried. Canker bacteria have a capsule which
provides additional protection from dessication."

Thank you for the Education, Amen!!

So"Fermentation Is the Organic Way to Destroy Bacteria
