Crushed!

Tormato · March 20, 2007

A heads up to traders of broccoli, brussell sprouts, collards, kale, kohlrabi, and similar seeds. They can be crushed when sent in a plain envelope. I lost 100% in one, 50% in another. These envelopes had extra protection, but it didn't help. It looks like they need a bubble mailer.

Gary,

I'm going to try again, but this time I'll seal them in a steel reinforced cement ball. 'Course, that might draw too much attention to itself. Hmmm. I'll have to be sneaky.

Has anyone ever sent seeds encased in a raquetball???

Boggles the mind.

Michael,

If you first drill out the steel rebar, you have a place to put the seeds, before encasing in cement.

Thanks Again,

Gary
