Topic: Post your area in subject box

[Dirty Digger]

This is slightly off topic as this is not a thread that's swapping any plants, cuttings or seeds, however, does anyone agree with me that they should put their living area in the subject box, so that it's made clear where their swap is coming from?

It's great that someone has an excess of something or other but I doubt anyone really wants to travel more than 20 miles to swap a few plants over.

Seeds may be a different matter as they can be posted but this particular area of the forum isn't just about seeds.

i don't see how it could possibly seem unnecessary.....it should be the first thing you look at when looking for cuttings and plants......seeds are a different matter as they are easily posted.

When posters give info/advice I like to know what part of the country they are from.  What grows in Cornwall does not always do well further N.   I also like a subject in the tittle.

Small plants and cuttings are very easily posted, costs less than a car journey so more environementally friendly too.

All I meant was it was suggested and some folks included their area in their avatar but it fizzled out and no-one bothered after that. We still managed swaps though. Maybe we were familiar with where certain people lived by then. I certainly didn't mean it was a bad idea. Posting plants is easy though, I post mine with roots wrapped in damp paper towel in a cut down pop bottle stuck up with gaffer tape. Not had any problems to date.

Below the avatar is the best place to place your location, mainly because if more than one person responds to a post, then they'll have to change the subject line for their post, which could see a hotch potch of subject lines in one topic.

hi no lotty :) how do you manage swapping seeds with the rest of the world? I'v a friend who lives in Perth and she says it illegal to send seeds ect to Australia but allright to send them out. this makes this a very good idea to have your location below your avatar
