It is important that each participant take out what they want to keep, toss what is iffy, add to the box and mail it ASAP. This is what will make it go smoothly.

Everyone pays the postage to get the box Priority with tracking information to the next person on the list.

The box will be started with leaves, starters, and whatever else can be thrown in. When you receive the box and there are dead leaves, etc., please throw them out and replace what you can. Please keep the names and address list with the box for the next person. You are welcome to place anything in the box, just remember you need to replace what you take. You are also welcome to throw in extras. But please don't throw in your old leaves, make sure what you are sending is viable plant material for propagation.

You are not obligated to take anything you don't want, so if something doesn't suit your fancy, send it out to the next recipient on the list.

Once you have made your selection, post to the group what you have taken and when you sent the box out to the next recipient. Including a tracking number is helpful.

DO NOT POST TO THE GROUP WHAT IS IN THE BOX, only what you kept.

***There will be ONE heat pack included in the box (try to save it for RainGazer to send the box to Jim). Please, please, please only use it if the temperatures warrant it for the next person on the list. If in doubt, post on the forum, and the more experienced shippers can give their opinion. I tried to plan the route so the cooler people will be done closer to the beginning of the robin. If it IS used, if anyone who receives the box after can put another in the box, that would be great - as I'm sure one may be needed at the end . . . ***

The box route may look a bit erratic, and not make sense in some places, but it does conform to everyone's 'restrictions' (dates, regular traders, etc). I will post a link to the map soon, so you can keep an eye on where the box currently is!

Please check the DG thread before sending to the next person on the list. If they have not posted within the past 3-5 days, cross that person off the list and send to the person after. This may sound harsh, but with the distance the box has to go, we do not want it to sit on the porch of someone who may be out of town or otherwise indisposed.
