Planting Advice: Step 1: Find some trays or pots You can sow seeds in a proper seed tray or use a container tin, fruit tray, flower pot or similar. Step 2: Fill the container with seedling compost It’s best to buy seedling compost to increase the chances of germination if only a small number of seeds are supplied in a packet. Step 3: Moisten the surface of the compost Moisten the surface of the seedling compost with a mist spray and ensure it’s wet. Step 4: Put the seeds evenly over the compost Put the seeds over the compost using your finger. Don’t cover small seeds and let it be. Step 5: Cover the container Cover the seed tray with black net or cardboard to prevent the compost drying out. This also keep the seeds in dark, which aids germination. Put under roof or indoor to help higher germination rates.
