The cultural
information should be used as a guide only, I have found a number of
different sowing techniques for the same seed from different sources there
does not seem to be a standard. With this in mind you should use this
website as a guide only, you probably already have a tried and tested way of
sowing different seeds. As a rule of thumb the larger the seed size the more
cover it requires, and fine seed like Lobelia Begonia etc requires no cover.
