It's probably irrelevant but I've sowed 120 Alderman in modules in the last 4 weeks and got a grand total of 10 that have germinated. 4 have died since.Trying some fresh Unwins seed from Asda to see if it helps but I've never had any real success with them. Is there a secret that I don't know?
I use a 1l pot 12 peas dumped in 1 inch below compost watered well once then in a propagator heated or notThe main reason is to stop those thieving mice Transplanting has never been a problem, I tried root trainers and loo rolls etc ok but a lot of faffing around keep it simple
An inch deep sounds like too much to me too, and I wouldn't bother with the propagator.You could try pre-germinating on damp kitchen paper maybe? Just keep an eye on them though and pot them up as soon as they sprout.
Is there some sort of misunderstanding in this thread? As my second post I mentioned sowing an inch and using a propagator(Mouse free zone) with success to be told it could be too deep and not to use propagatorUnless I read it wrong its Robininthewoods whos had bad luck not me
