It’s that time of year where I look at the paper plates all over my house with dry seed and realize it is time to attack this chore and get organized. In doing so I now know why so many of the seeds I have received from members on here often have quite a bit of pulp (placenta) with the seeds.
After only doing about 10 plates and having a sneezing attack that I thought would never end, I thought there has got to be a better way. Now I could put a mask or respirator on to stop the sneezing but that would not take any time away from the tedious job of separating dry seed from dried pulp. Is there really any advantage to this?
Some seed I have received (mostly from vendors) appear that they have taken a miniature tooth brush to each and every seed (how do they do that?). But other than package space will seeds fair better the cleaner they are of the pulp, or is it just a waste of time for most of us hobbyist.
