If we want to push a raised bed on a little early, we cover it after
seeding with a sheet of clear PVC. We weight the sheet down to prevent
it blowing away and we remove it as soon as small seedlings can be seen
pushing up under it. That reduces germination and growing time by 7-12
days depending on circumstances.


Doesn't the weight flatten the seedlings?
