Seeding Your

(Continued)
Number of Seeds
As with an outdoor garden, it is important to plant extra seeds in each
Grow Sponge
to ensure
germination success. A good rule of thumb is to sow only a few extra seeds for large seeds and
fruiting plants. Increase amount of seeds as seed size gets smaller and for plants that grow in
bunches, such as chives. For small seeds, typically 6 seeds does the trick. The table below pro-
vides recommendations of how many seeds to plant in each
Grow Sponge
.
