Sterilising alder seeds with hydrogen peroxide

IOW he is happy to be obsessed with growing his hearts desire. Pretty much like most longterm gardeners here. The difference between a world-changing visionary and someone just riding a hobby-horse can be told only long after the event. I don't give him a high chance of pulling this off, but I commend his vision and determination. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Regards, Nick Maclaren. so do I but at some point he has to be to advised that is is very unlikely that alder seeds will feed the world and he should maybe turn his talent to something else. but no-one has the courage to say so. Of course I would like someone to say they have huge alder seeds, but no-one did. I like the idea but it's not possible |

I like the idea but it's not possible I have no idea if in this instance you are right or wrong having next to no knowledge of alder, but you have to admit when you see examples of the original wild plants that many of our grains and veg come from you wouldn't have given them much hope either! But you are wrong on one count, people did point out it was a daft idea in the first place, its just most of us think having given the warning, being helpful is now the best way forward.
