I have not traded, but have sent seeds and Iris bulbs in the mail. I told them not to bother with paying postage because I didn't want to have anyone pay for what might end up being duds if I packaged them wrong and they don't grow/germinate. I learned the automatic postal machines mash seeds, so I pad the envelops with bubble wrap. (Though I have wondered if the masher could be used for scarification? Haha. )
Currently, I have collected a few native seeds from around the yard and would like to share them. Of one variety, I do not have a large amount because most dropped before I even thought about saving any and I already gave a few to a friend.
I guess I am a little nervous about stepping into this. I do not want to send too little and people think I skimp on trades. What is deemed a proper amount?
Other than posting on the proper forum and listing I have seeds, what else is there to this? If I would rather have postage than a trade, would I mark seeds for sale?
I tried searching Ideas and Forums and I didn't find a how-to or similar with regards to trading. There must be something I am overlooking. Oh, if there is a video about it, please do not link to it, I cannot view it on our home computer.
Thank you very much.
