How To Make Your Own Seed Tape

The gardens are growing so quickly, our first batch of lettuce is already ready to harvest! So we’ve been working on getting our second batch in the ground. Lettuce can be a bit of pain to get growing properly so we decided to make seed tape. This method is great for veggies that need to be thinned like carrots and onions or flowers and super easy to make.

When it’s time to plant, use your hand or a hand shovel to dig a shallow trench where you’ll be planting. Lay the seed tape across the ditch and scoop the dirt back over the seed tape. Water the soil thoroughly. Keep the area where you planted the tape moist until seeds germinate. Store whatever tape is left in a ziplock bag in a cool place.
