Sowing seed into pots
or trays Resources • Chosen seed compost • Pots/trays and trowel/fork, watering can Tools • with aincluding: ‘fine-rose’ Growing plants from seed is tremendously rewarding. The techniques are simple and quick, especially with practice and the confidence to experiment. This activity has instructions for sowing seeds directly into pots or trays. 1. btain seeds of your chosen plant varieties. O 2. each type of seed, follow instructions For below. 3. e guided by the instructions on the seed B packet. Photography © Ray Spence Activity Extended activity 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. U se thinning and potting-on techniques as required when seeds germinate (see ‘Thinning seedlings’ and ‘Potting on seedlings’ activity sheets). Write a diary about sowing seed. Compare the way different seeds grow and use the record to help plan next year’s planting. W rite a set of instructions for growing seeds. S ort and compare different types of seed looking at size, colour, shape and weight. Use seeds for counting, estimating and measuring. Design a seed label or packet. Work safely Be careful when handling seed, compost and soil, washing hands afterwards. Ensure appropriate adult supervision. The One Pot Pledge® concept was devised by Food Up Front, the urban food growing network. Trade Mark registered to Food Up Front. Garden Organic is a registered charity 298104

Ray Spence Instructions for sowing seed in pots and trays 1. Fill the container with organic, peat-free seed compost. This compost will have all the nutrients the seedlings need to germinate and grow for a few weeks, without adding extra fertiliser. 2. Firm the surface of the compost with something flat, like the bottom of another pot, or tap the container on the bench to settle the compost. Do not press the compost down hard as this squeezes out too much air and the seedlings won’t grow well. 3. Sow larger seeds individually, covering with compost (no deeper than twice the size of the seed). 4. Tap smaller seeds off the palm of your hand. Also sprinkle seeds by taking a pinch between finger and thumb.You can also mix small seeds with the same bulk of fine sand and then sow (for more even distribution). 5. Water using a watering can with a fine-rose end or stand the container in a tray of water and allow the water to soak up from below until the surface is just damp. Do not saturate as this also reduces the air in the compost. Leave to drain. 2/3

6. Cover seed
with sieved compost and firm lightly so the seed and compost make good contact. Leave very small seeds uncovered or use a thin layer of vermiculite (very fine mineral rock). 7. Label each container (or group of pots) with the date of sowing, crop and variety name. For some crops, sow again every two to four weeks for a ‘succession’ of harvests during the season, eg carrots, lettuce, radish, salad onion. 8. Lightly water again if needed using a watering can with a fine-rose end. 9. Once seeds have germinated (typically one-three weeks), thin or pot-on as required. Notes The method is the same for whichever type of pot or tray you use, whether bought or a recycled container, eg margarine tubs with added drainage holes. Individual pots are useful for larger seeds. Seed-trays are good for getting as many seedlings as possible or if unsure of the likely germination rate. Seedlings will need potting-on before transplanting. Trays divided in modules are available in different sizes and suit most seeds. Seedlings can then be transplanted with minimum root disturbance. You can also make your own, see ‘Making a paper pot’ activity. Seed can sometimes be sown directly into larger containers. • • • • Top tip - The right conditions Greenhouse Windowsill Outdoors Seedlings deprived of light 3/3 Photography © Ray Spence Place your pot or tray in a location with adequate warmth and shelter. Keep moist and in a light position for even and fast growth.
