For growing seed indoors either 
pots or shallow boxes known as 
flats, are satisfactory. Whichever 
you use be sure the drainage is 
good. In the case of flats see that 
the boards on the bottom are 
spaced about a quarter of an inch 
apart. When filling the seed flats 
place some material such as gran- 
ulated peat moss along the cracks 
to prevent the soil from washing 
through the bottom. On the bot- 
tom half inch of the flat place 
gravel or soil screenings to help- 
the drainage. If pots are used be 
sure to put some drainage ma- 
terial in the bottoms.
