Seed tapes

Not sure if this has been posted before, but it's a nice way to make seed tapes.

This helps to get the seed spacing right and prevents seed blowing in the wind when planting. Just plant the seed tapes into the ground, cover with compost. Watering and decomposition gets rid of the papertape in time.

I wish this thread had been posted before I went out sprinkling my night scented stock, californian poppy and godetia seeds in the wind today

Great, I'm going to combine the two and use the magicseeder to apply the seeds to the tapes:)
