Default How to sow seeds evenly




"Gulph" wrote in message
Hi, folks. I've got an envelope that is supposed to contain 6,000
Rudbeckia seeds. In other words...about a tablespoon.

I want to sow these more or less evenly over a plot that's roughly
8x10 feet. Is there a simple method of spreading them out evenly over
a space that size -- that is, a simper method that making a zillion
one eighth-inch deep holes and dropping seeds in one-by-one?

Aye Mark, there is a simpler method. Get yourself a couple pounds of very
fine white sand and mix the seeds WELL with the sand, then broadcast or
sift the sand/seed mix over the area. Don't obsess, naturalized rudbeckia
grows in drifts and clumps anyway.
