I don't play six hours a day (maybe more like 2) but I find that if I do not dry my reeds out before storing, there will be mildew problems. When I have finished playing, I just wipe the reed dry (usually on the leg of my jeans cuz it's convenient) and then allow it to air dry, bark side down, before putting it away in a plastic LaVoz reed holder. I keep four reed holders right there in my clarinet case (16 broken in reeds).

I do not live in a humid climate either, it is fairly dry here. Although a friend of mine, who also uses the LaVoz holders, keeps them in a Ziploc bag with a damp sponge and a little cloth bag of rock salt, I have never found the need to bother with anything like that.
