Answer 1

Are you planting in pots or the garden ? If in pots put in 2 seeds per pot. Wet the end of your finger the seeds will stick to it ,then press them into the compost, or use a seed dispenser, if you are planting them into the garden plant them randomly for the best affect.Water well.

Answer 2

It depends upon the type of seed you have. Generally, small seeds are sown a little more thickly than are larger seeds which are easier to see and deal with. Some are covered and some are not as to their needs. Generally the method is best described on teh seed packet but sometimes you don't have on in the case of, say, a trade or a gift!

Answer 3

You need to look at the instructions in the packet, as different seeds need to be sown in different ways to guarantee success. But generally, it depends on the size of the seed. If the seed is large, they can be planted individually. If the seed is small, they tend to be scattered, and then the seedlings are thinned out later so that the strongest grow.
Also, if you are planting vegetables, for example, you need to sow the seeds at regular intervals so that crops will be spaced out evenly.
Good luck.

Answer 4

If seeds are very small, a good tip is to mix them with sharp sand, so when you sprinkle them they are more evenly spread.
