      The basics are
      Put in any seeds you will not use yourself,harvested seeds (well dried please) some plants will give you thousands,commercial seeds the same.
      If you want to put them in a marked ziplock bag so persons can take what they need and reseal or if you no longer require commercial packing put that in.Or if you like little envelopes fine.
      Any useful tips slip a note inside pack.
      We do have to bear in mind costs some can simply not afford expensive postage costs,with that in mind a post to say you have posted parcel and how much it cost is a guide to all.
      I will start parcel going in secure packing which is just re adressed and sent on ,but if its falling apart when it gets to you repack in a recycled suitable packing (re used "Amazon"packing is always favourite.)
      I will slip myself into middle so I can check packing etc (I could sell used padded envelopes and boxes) add any seeds i have received after its started, some G.C. members will kindly contribute but not want to be involved. I will message any one who has had parcel previous any new seeds I receive then if its a particular seed you want no one will miss out..Thats why I thought start it off Oct/Nov as by then we will have seeds harvested, bought any half price seeds at end of season sales and it will have gone round so we all good to go sowing at appropriate times after New Year.
      I will PM my address and phone number to all if any problems to contact me.
      So anything I haven`t remembered don`t hesitate to contact me.,

      Im fairly new to this forum, this sounds brilliant, we will have excess seed left at the end of the year from the chillis we grow as we already have next years seeds waiting and we have already started building up some seed from commercial pods. So were really happy to contribute those if theyre wanted??

      Add me to the list! Live about 2 mins from a Post Office so I believe I will be quite a reliable seed-swapper!

      Wouldnt have a clue how to add myself to the list im afraid. Were growing at least 6 plants of various chillis that are claimed to be the hottest in the world so we should have something to suit your pallet :)
