Default Plant Swap Solution

joe wrote in message ...

Would you have ads automatically go away after a given period say 5 days, or
would the poster be responsible for that. I guess the issue is you don't
want some advertising something they no longer have.


Could you possibly clear ALL ads say at the end of each month or on
the 1st & 15th of each month? Then we would be starting new once or
twice a month. It would also mean a person looking for something
would not have too much to look through. Just a thought.

Would this be for all types of 'other' plants or just 'water garden'
plants? A compromise could be if 1/2 of each swap had to be a 'water
garden' plant. For example: If I need a water lily but have no other
'water garden' plant to trade I could then offer an 'other' such as a
passionvine. But if I was looking for passionvine, I would have to
offer a 'water garden' plant in trade. In that way 1/2 of the trade
was pond related. Just a thought, we are a pond group. One the flip
side, of my brain, is the thought that we also need 'other' plants to
put around the outside of our ponds, so do we really want to limit it
to 'water garden' plants? Oh well, this is how my life goes, just
can't make up my mind!!

How about a section for depth to place under water from the person who
grew the plant? That could make a differece to some of us in what we
would take as a trade. Example: I have no shelves in my pond and
therefore don't want a lot of plants that I need to haul in more
cement blocks to add to my pond. So that info is something I would
want to know.

As for location, we could just sign that way such as here....

PS. I would love to see this go on for the entire pond site, because
for a lot of the posts it would be helpful to know where the writer is
located, the information makes more sense then.
