Sowing in the open means that the very young plants are at the mercy

anyway. I sow in 40-cell trays, 2 or 3 seeds to a cell.

The problem for me is isolating 2 or 3 seeds when they're as fine as
dust and you get 500 or so in a packet. Not getting them all in the same
place is the best I can hope for.

An old method was to mix fine seed with some dry sand and then sow it.

Thanks, I'll try that next time
