Mark the surface.of the flat or

edged ruler or garden label lightly 
into the surface. Sow the seed 
thinly in the depressions; either 
directly from the seed packets, or 
by sifting it out between your 
thumb and forefinger. The seed 
should be covered lightly. A fine 
meshed kitchen screen serves very 
well for this purpose. Place a 
handful of dry soil mixture in the 
screen and sieve onto the seed 
drill.
