Envelopes that are bubble-wrapped inside. I have used them to send DVD of our 
kids to my parents in another state.

Walmart carries them amongst others...

Subject: Re: [NAFEX] Seed packets for mailing


I would like to be able to send people seeds upon request in the most
cost-effective way without crushing the seeds.  I would like to know the
best way/best place to purchase packaging for this.  I'm talking about small
amounts, like some of you have graciously done for me - thanks!

Subject: Re: [NAFEX] What's eating apple leaves?

Thanks. That could be it. We're trying to figure out what to do about 
them.  Here's an idea.  Build a moat around the base of the tree.  Just 
a small ring, maybe two or three inches wide, assuming the worms won't 
be able to cross water (or is that werewolves?).

Question is how to build a moat.  Our tree is very young. I'm thinking 
we could use a mix of sawdust and elmer's glue.  It is maleable and once 
it hardens, it will hold water. 

Other ideas?

Regards,

Jay

would only appear at night, climbing and eating the leaves down to the nub.
