Thinking of Selling the Seeds You Saved?

I started saving strawberry seeds years ago. After i figured out how to do that, I started thinking about selling them. The first task was to come up with a way to count them to package them. It took a while but I stumbled on measuring devices from a number manufacturers. I evaluated a couple of them and finally chose one from a manufacturer called Hornady. Pictured here is the unit purchased 15 years ago called a Hornady Lock and Load. Once calibrated for the seeds of a particular cultivar you can measure seeds accurately within 1 or 2 seeds each time and dispense them into packets quickly. Once I have the seed envelopes prepped the packets can be filled in seconds. Sure beats counting them by hand. I never tried to use it for other types of seed but it has potential!
