If you want nice grass you should aerate your lawn once/year at least. This involves putting little holes in the ground the grass is growing in. If you already have grass growing & just want it thicker,whether you aerate your lawn or not you can just throw the seed on the top of the ground. The birds will thank you. They won't get it all & some will grow but it's better to aerate,spread the seed & water it everyday for a couple of weeks. In the south it will grow like normal grass.If you're above the Mason - Dixon line my experience with this product is you will need to mow twice a week. This seed will grow grass where other products fail. If you want nice grass you should aerate your lawn once/year at least. This involves putting little holes in the ground the grass is growing in.

u really can just scatter but then the seeds can move around when watered. so dirt on top holds them in place. where u put them is where they grow. they do not fill in or spread like normal grass. good for areas u cant grow grass.

We raked the area then spread seeds by hand. Watering the area well that was it, no digging. Just check the expiration date of seeds! That is where we ran into a problem. Old seeds but they did grow.

Instructions are included, it's quite simple: first you put a couple inches of soil in the bottom, then place about 4 seed potatoes evenly spaced on top. Cover with more soil, water and observe, as they sprout and the plants emerge, you continue to add soil until the plants emerge out the top of the bag at which time you simply continue to water/feed until the plants die, then harvest!

Unfortunately, I have purchased seeds from various providers and very few of the supply any planting or germinating information. I had to wing it or check online on horticulture sites or you local University. Wish I could have been more help. Personally I am planning on making seed purchases through a Nursery next time. Good luck.

It's not doing it for me. I planted herb seeds which sprouted in a couple days, and then NOTHING! I am so disappointed at this plastic piece of crap!

what I did was divide (spatially, not literally) the box into 4 sections then plant each of the 4 herbs in a section, scattering seeds like you would plant grass seed. In other words, I used all the seeds.

Because I was placing my seed in a former garden that had been recently tilled, it came up when I just threw it on the ground. Now, when I have a dandelion, I pull it up and fill the hole with dirt and clover seed. I don't think it would come up if you just put it on top of the ground with weeds, etc.

Not sure my last message went out. I have been very pleased with this seed and it does grow with very little soil. I simply rake the ground, plant the seed and have been very pleased with this product. Jim in Arkansas

Those are probably multiple seeds no? I would guess you keep it all together as one plant.

No, you provide soil and a small tomato plant. Have never done this from seed.

i planted about 10 seeds in a rectangular pot with regular potting soil. surprisingly i only have about 11 plants out of 40 seeds. cant tell you if i did something wrong or the seeds just didnt grow

I left them as is. No need to cover them. Just make sure the seeds are placed into the hole deep enough (at least 1/2 "). I use Long tweezers to insert the seeds Individually. Works great.

I don't know, but the inoculant I used did not "soak" the seeds. It was more like a "dusting" such as powered sugar.

You're quite welcome. I'm having to do some research myself, because I don't have any knowledge of seeds and plants. I want to learn, though. Foxfire books may be helpful. I haven't checked them out, but they are reported to tell about the "old" ways of doing things. Happy researching.

The idea behind this is to cover a lot of ground and avoid the back breaking hand seeding. My plot is 30 x 45. It is definitely not designed for the small seed packets, this is intended for bulk seed.

I just looked on the box and it doesn't provide that information on the outer packaging or on the individual seed packets. Aliens.

I can't speak for this product directly, but we used egg cartons to germinate seeds in last year's garden; and as I'm pulling them up I found that the plants that were a little stilted still had decomposing cardboard in their roots. Root veggies didn't do well in them either. Maybe a quick decomposing product would work better, but in general I wouldn't use cardboard cartons again.

I am not sure what you mean but if you want to give the seeds you could divide them up into smaller platic bags or just give them as is. that is what I did last Xmas, put them as is in stockings. worked great!
