How to Use

Fill the tray with good quality seed or multi purpose compost, firm gently and level. Sow seed thinly across the surface or in shallow rows, then cover lightly with a fine layer of compost or vermiculite. Water gently with a fine rose to avoid disturbing the seed. Place somewhere warm and bright out of direct hot sun, and keep the compost moist but not waterlogged until seedlings emerge. Once seedlings have their first true leaves, prick them out into individual pots or cells to grow on.
