Tip on starting very small seeds!

Tip when growing very small seeds! Peat and sand mix. I get a very fine strainer or a window screen and strain some peat and sand in a box of soil mix! I put about a half inch of the peat and sand mix on top strained. I pat it down and wet it! I now sprinkle my small seeds over the flat size box area. Last I strain about a 1/4 inch of the sand and peat over the seeds and cover it with plastic till I see the seeds sprout and do not add any more water the plastic will keep it moist!! The dry mix on top becomes slightly moist from beneth and it works great! Even when you put up the seedlings the sand and peat cling to the roots!.
