Overview

Healthy soil gives seeds and young plants a better foundation. Before planting, take time to prepare the bed so roots can access moisture, air, and nutrients more easily.

Before You Sow

  • Remove weeds, large debris, and compacted surface crust
  • Loosen the top layer of soil without overworking it
  • Add finished compost when appropriate for your garden
  • Check that the bed drains well after watering

Seed Bed Tips

Small seeds usually need a finer surface than large seeds. Follow the product listing for planting depth and keep the soil surface consistent during germination.
