RickCorey said:I've started entering, but need to take many notes at home about how-many-pkts and approximate sizes.

When I go 110% bonkers-crazy with small quantities, I will sometimes dish up several packets with a small spoon (1/16th tsp, 1/32nd, or even 1/64th), then WEIGH the packets, and even-off the weights of the heaviest and lightest pkts, so each is fairly equal in size.

However, let me stress that even I think that's a crazy degree of O. Seed D.

A little O. Seed D. is fine, but there is such a thing as going TOO far with nit-picky-ness.

On the other hand, I know people who carefully COUNT OUT exactly 20 petunia seeds.
Their eyes must be SO much better than mine!

Thanks again for running a beta test!



I agree. This is why exact counts and weights are permitted. Small seeds are nearly impossible to count out to most any double-digit-or-higher number.
