Going Down
New Member
When you dropped your seeds, it looked like the soil was extremely too shallow. Make sure that there is room for the tap root to grow down and roots to spread out. Another thing I see is on plant 2, (look at your last pic) it looks like when you watered it washed some of the soil away and I can see the roots of the plant. Make sure to keep them covered up! Sometimes after watering the soil can become compacted and have a hard surface to it. After the moisture has dried out of the compacted surface, I like to give the soil a slight rake with my fingers to keep the soil loose. My thinking is loose soil will allow more air flow to the roots. Any questions? I'll be watching!
