SEED ESTABLISHMENT

• Make drills of 2cm depth across the bed and 10-13 cm apart.
• Sparsely/ thinly drill your seeds within the drills and cover lightly.
• If sowing is done while soil is dry, slightly compact the soil to improve on seed-soil contact.
• Water your bed until is well soaked. Thereafter watering will depend on the weather conditions and soil type. A very wet bed however may encourage rotting.
• Avoid alternate wetting and drying. This kills the seeds.
