Title: Quantity of seeds in a packet !!
Post by: fitzsie on October 09, 2013, 19:13:41
Just bought some seeds for next years sweet peas and the packet said it contained an average of 25 seeds. On counting the seeds I found I had 38 in the packet, 13 more then the average which is 33% more !! Does that mean that some pour soul out there  has less then the average or was I just lucky ? !!! :happy7:

I ordered 5 Music garlic from Garliky farm and they sent 6...  :toothy10:  :toothy10: I'm not complaining.

In answer to your question.. No the seeds are packed by machine and probably set a bin on the over fill side.. or set on a volume basis and the seeds are a bit smaller than average so more go in..
