3. Choose a seed container 2-3 inches deep. If using trays with individual segments, fill them to about 1-2cm from the top.
4. It is important to wet the soil before you plant the seeds so it can compress down from the water and not over cover the seeds. Dip the bottom of the pot, tray or seed tray in water and let it raise to the top. It will look damp when fully watered.
5. If the seeds do not need to be soaked for a few hours prior to planting, plant them about 3 times the thickness of the seed. This is a good rule to know when planting.
