How to sow seeds evenly - using a self made seed tape?

I saw some Martha Stewart brand seeds at K-mart that were embedded in a roll of tape. Just unroll and plant the tape. Might be old news, but I thought it was interesting. Quite a healthly markup price-wise as well. Your comment about seeds embedded in a roll of tape reminded me of a process of making your own tapes for carrot seeds. I think radish seeds were also spaced along the line to be used as markers because they are fast to germinate. The tape making involved 2 ply toilet tissue being rolled out, misted with water and then folded in thirds over the centrally spaced seeds. Has anyone had success with this technique or other self-made seed tapes? Regards. |
