Mark the surface of the flat or 
seed bed by pressing a narrow 
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.
