Seed Tapes

So after a long break, I have been hanging out at Baker's Creek Forum again (Idig). It has a politcal subforum and some of the people there made me sad to share a planet with them.

Anyways, there have been several discussions on there as of late about making your own seed tapes. I am intrigued and may try this. It is really most useful for really small seeds. You can see what you are doing when you place the seeds on the tape (toilet paper) and then when you place them out in the garden they wont wash away in heavy rains or vigorous waterings.

Another plus is that you can prepare them ahead of time. Then when Spring is in full swing and everything is needing to get done, the tapes make direct sowing quick and simple. I am really excited by this idea!
