Using Daltons Premium Seed Mix for Direct Sowing

Direct sowing can be an economical and easy way to grow your seedlings that avoids the need to transplant. This method is not suitable for all seed varieties so read instructions on seed packet carefully and follow advice for planting depth and spacing.

  1. Prepare garden soil making sure it is loose and friable. For improved growth dig in Daltons Garden Mix or Daltons Premium Compost.
  2. Make a furrow deep enough to allow for at least 3-5cm of Daltons Premium Seed Mix. Follow seed packet instructions for planting depth and spacing. Cover seeds with a thin layer of Daltons Premium Seed Mix to no more than twice the thickness of the seed.
  3. Keep the soil evenly moist to avoid letting it dry out. Use a ‘shower’ setting on a hose wand or a ‘rose’ fitting on a watering can to ensure a gentle flow of water.
