Vertical Veg (Mark Ridsdill Smith) runs a seed swap on FB.
Has anyone ever joined it or knows how it operates please? I'm curious how it can work!
From what I can gather, you pay some money (£6 +) and you're emailed a spreadsheet on which you list the seeds that you have to swap. All these lists are amalgamated and sent to all swappers who choose the seeds they want from the list. Once the list requests are over, the swapper packs their seeds individually for each requester and sends all the packs to Vertical Veg who shuffles them around and sends them back to the requesters.
My initial thought is what if I only have 10 beans to swap and 20 people want them? Who decides who has the beans and what about the 19 people who won't receive any?
I really can't understand how this swap takes place so, if you know, please tell me.
