I rent a small place in Denver with a shared kitchen, so I have very little dedicated space for storing seed packets, dried herbs, and the modest harvest I bring back from a community garden plot. A friend mentioned they keep their seeds and dried goods in a small beverage refrigerator rather than a pantry shelf, and I’ve been looking at a 24-inch 180-can unit as a possible fit for a corner of my apartment.
What I’m unsure about is whether a cooler like that actually holds a stable enough temperature and humidity for seed viability and dried herbs, or whether the condensation and cycling would do more harm than good. I also worry about energy use running one year-round for storage rather than occasional drinks.
Has anyone here used a beverage cooler this way? Curious how it worked out for moisture and power draw.
