    Here is an idea that I saw this from one website. Basically someone fill up a box of unwanted seeds and post it to the next person who takes what he wants and put in more spare seeds and pass it on to third person, and so on and we can share various seeds. The parcel will cost about £2 to post.

    If anyone is interested, please post here.

    To make it easy would it be best to do it in order of who posted first:cnfs: and then everyone can pm the person above them there address?

    Just a thought...:wink:
