Hi All,

I was looking at a packet of carrot seeds. They are very
tiny. How do you plant them without special vision equipment?

Many thanks,

Mix them with dry sand then put the mixture in folded piece of paper.
Gently tap the paper as you move it along the row and the mix will fall out
in a thin stream along the fold. Adjust the amount of sand to how densely
you want to plant them.


That works with broadcasting grass seed, it doesn't work well with
individual vegetable seeds.
