I'll often buy a packet of seeds that I want to plant, but I have a small garden and I usually only want 5-10 seeds from the packet. I take the rest to my local seed library so other people can have some too!

My library has one of these but I've got nowhere to plant them :'(

That's amazing! I'm so happy and proud for you and your community!

Do you get fined if you are unlucky to have no harvest and cannot bring anything back?

Awesome!

Seeds get less viable over time.
Use 'em up.
Well, that seems to be the plan. You "borrow" seeds and at the end of the season you return fresh seeds from what you have grown.
Yeah I'd be cautious about that. With some exceptions like tomato, I've had issues with viral load building up in otherwise apparently healthy seeds, specifically soybeans for edamame and other beans. Then of course you've got cross pollination issues with any thing brassica, or cucurbitacea.
Idk. I collect and sew some of my own seed, but I sure af wouldn't be planting any other growers seed unless I'm confident in their pollination skills as well as pest and disease management. I'd rather pay an annual dues to a seed library/ bank where I can draw from, but be guaranteed fresh seed (this is what we do for our friends/ community) from a reliable source.
