    Does anyone have an unopened packet of pease lieing around that they could weigh for me?

    I'm trying to work out how much to bulk buy next year, by weight.

    Many thanks in advance!

    Different seeds weigh different weights, and different seedsmen sell in different amounts. I normally plant a pea seed per two square inches.

    Cheers, Tony.

    Thanks Tony, of course I realise that which is why I am asking if anyone has a packet to weigh.

    Many thanks in advance.
