Collect Trays or Pots and Drill Holes If

Needed
You can sow seeds in a proper seed tray bought from a store. Alternatively, you can
make do with a cookie tin, flower pot, empty food container, or something like that. If
there are no holes in the bottom of the container, make some with a 1/4 inch drill bit or a
nail. Space the holes a few inches apart. This allows water to drain from the container
and prevents it from collecting, which would make the seed compost overly wet.

You can also sow seeds individually in plant trays like the ones annual plants from
stores are sold in. The advantage of these is that seedlings don't need to be
transplanted later. If you have lots of seeds and not enough trays, sow a couple in each
compartment in the tray in case one doesn't germinate.
