I own a small town home & garden store and I buy my loose garden seeds in bulk and measure them by scoops based on volume not weight. I use the Keystone Seed Scoop "A" for 1/2 ounce and "B" for 1 ounce.

From Beets to Zucchini you will get more seeds for less money than from pre packed seed packs! Small seeds are sold by the scoop and are measured by volume not weight in both 1/2 oz and 1 oz scoops.
