Agri-Starts - recent experience
I searched the posts and didn't find any with recent experience with Agri-starts. I am planning to order several flats from them and I would like any input on first hand experience with them. Do they do what they say they will do? How vigorous are their plants. Are their plants labeled correctly? Does it grow up to be what it is supposed to be?

Re: Agri-Starts - recent experience
Two flat minimum is the only problem for me.

Re: Agri-Starts - recent experience
Euro dudes, there must be somewhere in Europe that does TC, I'm thinking in Germany is the most likely.

Re: Agri-Starts - recent experience
Ante, you know better than that. There are no taxes as long as you don't declare what you transport as a living tissue.

Re: Agri-Starts - recent experience
I was wrong. I wrote them and there is a one flat minimum. Yet that's still 72 bananas to much for me.
