Planting Tip

When planting seeds or transplanting plants into your garden, it is always wise to use some kind of gauge to make sure the seeds/plants are planted at the correct depth and that they are spaced evenly apart.

What I have found to be the easiest way to do this is for depth is to place a rubber band or rubber “O-ring” on a craft stick or dowel at the desired depth. Then stick it in the ground to the marker to make a hole for the seed at the depth you are wanting.

For spacing, use rubber bands on the handle of a rake or hoe marking the desired distance. Lay the rake or hoe along side the row that you will be planting and so you can see at a glance where to dig a hole for your next plant.
