What happens here
Take two to three small seeds between your fingers and gently drop them into each pre-poked hole in the peat pellets. The goal is to ensure at least one viable seed sprouts in each pellet. Once the seeds are placed, use the tip of your pen or pencil to lightly cover them with peat moss. Avoid pressing the seeds down too firmly or burying them too deeply; they only need to be covered to about twice the depth of the seed's diameter. This light covering provides optimal conditions for germination. Plant all seeds with similar germination times at once, as they will sprout around the same period, simplifying subsequent care.
Goal: Place seeds in the prepared pellets and lightly cover them for germination.
