what is a good storage method of wool garments in the off season. moths have been a problem for me in the past. are moth balls a necessity? thanks for your input.
In a storage bin with cedar shavings in cheese cloth type material is what I do.

Cedar is very effective at keeping moths away.
Use a rubber storage container and line the bottom with cedar chips (like the ones used for hamster bedding) and you shouldn't have any issues.
Plus, it smells natural.
Don't use moth balls, you'll never get the stink out of them. i put mine in a plastic tote with cedar.

thanks for the advice. the cedar shavings sounds cheap,effective and easy.
I store mine in rubbermaid containers.
I lined my hunting closet with the thin cedar planking. The containers with shavings sound like a much cheaper, easier way to go...
Do a search.....there was a lengthy thread a couple of weeks a go.
I put mine in huge zip lock bags, with a cheesecloth bag of cedar chips inside, then inside a plastic tote. No problems at all.
I store mine in a cedar chest.(nut)
Put your woolens in the deep freeze for a few hours to kill any moths, larvae or eggs and then put them in a sealed container of some kind. Freezing kills them.
