How to plant tiny seeds easily

Trying to plant tiny seeds such as carrots can be difficult.  If you have planted them before, you know how difficult it can be to get the spacing correct.  The process is often wasteful and more than a little frustrating.  Let me help make this process so much easier.

How is it made easier?

The process is made easier by helping to control how many seeds are applied in the garden.  It is a simple and inexpensive method where you will add a small measured amount of the seeds to a larger measured amount of sand.  Once the seeds are well distributed within the sand you can easily plant those tiny seeds my shaking out the mixture.

What do you need to plant tiny seeds easily

You are going to need a couple common measuring devices found in you kitchen, dry washed concrete sand, your seed and a clean container such as a common pint sized mason jar. You are about to be able to plant your tiny seeds easily!

The mixing ratio

The mixing ratio is simple.  One part seeds go into 100 parts of sand.  To make it a little easier for you, 1/4 of a teaspoon of seed is added to 1/2 cup of sand.  Look for my video on the topic below to see the process.

Why you should use washed concrete sand

Sand from a river, or a road, is going to have a fair amount of weed seeds in it.  If you use that sand you will be introducing more weeds to your garden and competition for the seeds you want to grow.  Washed concrete sand has far less seeds and other foreign objects in it.
