Overseeding holes, cells, or pots will help ensure that the number of plants you desire will grow (or more!).

What happens if you plant a seed too deep?

ANSWER: Seeds that are planted too deep in the soil may grow into weak, feeble seedlings or fail to germinate at all. If it’s been buried too far under the surface of the soil, the seed may not get the light it requires to sprout.

How deep should you plant seeds?
