Depends on the plant (and the costs of the seeds). For things that
germinate well enough (which is probably most things for us), then we
just plant one seed in a module - if a few don't germinate I'd rather
that than loads of unwanted plants.

Yes, I can see this makes more sense. How about the potting medium? What is
cheap but effective? I remember getting annoyed by some potting mixes that
didn't seem to absorb water easily; it just tended to float on the water
and not absorb it readily!
