Which? reviews seed suppliers
I read about this on one of the Irish Sunday papers over the week end.
I thought this was outrageous stuff: but then again, it might explain some poor performance from some of the seed packets I have purchased over the years... In a recent survey, consumer magazine Which? found that up to 99% (in the case of delphinium from one supplier) of seeds in packets were dead. http://www.which.co.uk/reports_and_c...7_122802_4.jsp Cat(h) |

They chose very few packets from each supplier - with a different choice, you could have got a completely different result. But we've already done this to death ;-) -- Kay |
