Plant Trade Anyone? - 03/27/19 04:05 PM
I would like to do some plant trading this year with anyone on the forums. I can order from the net but would prefer making new friends if possible. I do not have a lot to offer, but I am looking to get some water hyacinth and Lizard Tail. I typically have ample amounts of Broad Leaf Arrow Head (Sagittaria latifolia) at my place, along with some Smart Weed (Polygonum spp.) and some Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia). I also can oblige if you need some cattail, willow tree, or FA, but only while supplies last...LOL
My thought is to merely trade plants for plants by harvesting enough plants to lightly fill a 1 foot cube box, put them in a heavy plastic bag with some newspaper saturated with water, trap some air in the bag, tie off tight and ship them UPS or FedEx. It is important that this takes place as soon as the plants emerge so that shipping van temperatures are kept to a minimum.
I am open to many varieties of plants so let's talk trade...anyone interested? This would be a honor system kinda thing...I'll pay to send you some stuff for the returned favor.
