which way up does the seed go into the soil ?

i have allways put my sprouted seeds sprout end first into the soil and leave the seed itself under 1cm of soil roughly this is all good i take it peeps ?
thanx for ya input !

well...you've got two schools of thought on this subject...you've got the people who say to put it tip up as it will curl back down into the soil...then other people who say to put it tip down with the seed shell facing up...I think it all works personally

all good bro ... just keep the soil warm

it doesn't matter to be 100% honest.

Only thing NOT to do is touch the taproot (assuming you germinate prior to putting in the soil)


It doesnt matter if the taproot is planted up or down it will (the seed) rearrange itself how it likes. So its not like you can plant it upside down and the roots will grow above the soil and the leaves/branches in the dirt. thats not how it works.

So either way is fine. you can even plant it with laying down sideways. it really doesn't matter (i speak from experience)

cheers lads,, its just that i am about to put these in the soil so thought i would clarify it was all good tip end down ! again thanx !

you know whats funny about the "don't touch the taproot" thing? You are putting it in DIRT...If you are a dirty farmer like me my hands are dirty as fuck from dealing with soil...so any oils that were on my fingers are pretty much contained by the layers of soil on my fingers already...ive touched many a taproot and slung it down into the soil pointing down and they've all come up healthy as could be

i only say don't touch the taproot cuz if you damage it = dead seedling.
