That "job for the boys" is somebody's by no means risk-free living, and is very likely the result of years of experience and training. like the ones where it's now illegal to replce a lightswitch in your house, or replace a pane of glass. It is? OK, Officer, I surrender: you no doubt have a copy of the law for me or my representative to read. I smell straight bananas, wrapped (unhygienically and so perhaps illegally) in discarded pages of the Daily Mail. - To the OP, do what you want, unless you are doing it on a grand scale (anything larger than supplying a couple of greengrocers for example) you won't get your collar felt. That at least is almost right. Nobody's going to hassle you for a few plants from seed sold for a registered charity or even maybe a bit of beer money; flog rooted cuttings to a High-Street shop, and I begin to lose sympathy. -- Mike. |
