Question for those of you that buy or sell

You have 3 companies to choose from which are you like or do you buy from and why?

Company 1
Only grow one variety (peppers or tomatoes or that) at a time that does not know what there neighbours grow but thinks bagging blossoms wont do a lick to keep plants pure that thinks 6 seeds is plenty to "try" carrots or lettuces and calls those that point out possible issues a "nut job"

Company 2
Offers op provides info to what they grow grows many varieties at once and even states there may be some crosses

Company 3
Bags blossoms still provides info to what else is grown in the area and still does best with questions

Now clearly this is based on an experience I had (the example company 1 is based on also thought something wild ment I wouldn't want a tame cousin when I'm actually after the cousins)

Personally I would *never* do business with the person that company 1 is based on but there's a couple things that I'm not saying I personally also have no issues with possible crosses

Oh how effective are organza bags at keeping pollen in/out? Anyone here use them?
 
I personally use Tulle fabric and make the bags. I use it for keeping pollinators off the plant. Most of the varieties I want to isolate get 1 plant put in a bucket in the beginning of the season so I can cover it and move it to an upwind position about 15-20 feet away. For me No pollinator + no pollen coming from upwind = good seeds. Once again this is just my practice and opinion.

Also I would like to credit forum members for my knowledge of Tulle. It was either Josh or Patrick that I learned it from. For some reason I always get them mixed up. Both good guys.
 
I had heard organza bags for like 1-2 blossoms or so (I literally have like 300 bags so I'm not worried about running out)

Personally being in containers in a small yard where there's often 3 different plants per container I honestly don't know how tulle fabric would work for me like that
