I would be concerned about the reeds drying out excessively. Unless your
fridges in the States (I'm in Australia) are VERY different to ours, they
always dry out things (try putting a piece of cake in the fridge uncovere=
d
and see how dry it is after a few days! - if you want to waste a piece =
of cake,
that is). I can't imagine that this would be very good for the reeds, =

although I have no expert knowledge to confirm this. What do other list =

members think?
