I think that the principle's a really good initiative and more power to Gary's elbow & I really wish him success BUT.....my Ostergruss Rosa seeds for example....(from memory)...200-300 seeds for 29pence at Lidl? I'd only realistically need 24 seeds in a year (assuming 50% germination and these are BIG radishes ;D).....think it might be the small supplier being out-priced by the big concerns, given overheads, packing, postage etc when throw-away the surplus might be actually the cheaper option? As a new business, might be concentrating on specialist hard-to-obtain seeds be the way to go? There again....small market perhaps? Dunno...
