I’ll apologise now. This may turn into a rant. It really annoys me 
.
This morning I’ve been reading Decembers issues of GW.
In 2 separate articles they are advising to bin out of date seed. It’s infuriating! It’s wasteful and unnecessary. Especially when they are spouting on about reducing the use of peat, plastics & pesticides earlier in the mag. It’s a little hypocritical I think.
Just, why !!?
Granted some seeds will have a lower germination rate when out of date. But they’re not suddenly infertile because they’re 3 months out of date. People should stop being encouraged to bin perfectly good seed by so called professionals.
Probably because those professionals are being paid handsomely by big seed companies. ( my cynical view, not fact based in any way) .
