I _could_ be all wet on this, but I don't think that "hills" are
_necessarily_ actual, literal hills. However, if indeed they are, it might have something to do with keeping the seedlings feet dry, or warmer, or a combination of same. If you have some way to put a cloche over your seeds they'd probably be happy on the flats too. |

But to planting in little clusters or groups of 4 or 5 usually in a small circle. These groups may or may not be on mounds, depending on whether the plants prefer a little better drainage or not.
