    So I was sitting here thinking bout what I would like to try planting in the spring. I like to make my own seed mixes and try them in several small plots ranging from a tenth acre to about an acre. Some species like brassicas have low seed rates and in a small plot I may only need 1 lb or seed for the mix or less.

    What do you guys do in situations like this? Can't find places near me or online that sell in such small quantities, thanks

    I buy my seed at my local feed mill, can pretty much buy any quantity.

    Same i go to the co-op and scoop my seeds into bags, they weigh them, i purchase and plant. Way cheaper then bags of seed with deer on it. I also get advice from them great people.

    Yeah I'm not sure if there's one near me that sells that way. Best I've found is a place that sells down to 5 lb bags
