Placing Seeds in Grow Sponge

It is helpful to use a little bit of glue to keep the seeds at the desired
planting depth and prevent them from rolling away. You'll only need a
dab. Be sure to use a water-soluble, non-toxic, white school glue.
•
Squirt some glue on a piece
of paper.
•
Gently open the slit in the
Grow Sponge.
•
Using a cotton swab, toothpick,
matchstick, or something else
with which you can grab a small
amount of glue, apply a thin
coat of glue on the inside of
the Grow Sponge at the desired
planting depth.
•
Place the seeds on the glue.
Keep the seeds away from the
side edges of the Grow Sponge.
It is okay if the seeds overlap one
another. (Large seeds can be easily
put in place with your finger.)
A little trick for tiny seeds:
•
Spread the seeds on a flat surface.
•
Open Grow Sponge and gently
touch the glued surface to
the seeds.
