Try valueseeds for inexpensive seeds. It is the clearance outlet for T&M. Shipping is a flat fee of $1.99 and all seeds are .99 cents or less. The seeds are sent without the outside packet so you have to do some work in getting the instructions for planting and growing but it is all found on the website. They list new seeds a couple of times a year so you have to keep an eye out for the new listings. Some sought after items sell out almost overnight. Shipping is quick and well done. spiderwoman

Yes, they use a silicone based rubber that has a life of about 25 years or more. Its far better than old plain rubber seals. As to the Plastisol, thats a coating on the inside of the jars, and the seal as well. As mentioned in the descriptions, they are types made for water bath, hot pack, or cold pack. The generics and Ball lids can do both. The reason, plastisol is softer and more pliable than the silicone rubber, so it can soften too much if its heated twice, once in a hot pack, and then in a BWB. That design of lid might work better for me for my cold pack of pickled pepperoncini, that see no heat of any kind. The lids that come from Ball are defined as 70mm and 86mm now, as they moved to teh metrc system along with the liter and half liter jars..
