Planting Seeds According to Recommended Depth

Depth of Plantings Seeds

The stem should not be buried deeper than the soil level, which is a mark on the main stem that indicates the
height to which the soil rose while the tree was in the nursery. This means that the top layer of roots is just about 7.5 cm
below the surface. It is preferable to position the roots level with the soil surface and cover them with soil in heavy and
damp soils.
The general rule of thumb for seed planting depth is to use twice the seed width or diameter. This means a seed
that is 0.3175 cm wide should be planted .635 cm deep. Too often, seed packets rely on a standard 0.635 cm or 1.27 cm
planting depth, which is not always in a seed’s best interest.

Crop Planting Depth

Cauliflower 0.635 cm
Celery 0.3175 – 0.635 cm
Corn 1.27 cm
Cucumbers 1.27 cm
Eggplant 0.635 - 1.27 cm
Lettuce (head) 0.635 - 1.27 cm
Melon 1.27 cm
Onion 0.635 - 1.27 cm
Peas 2.54- 5.08 cm
Peppers 0.635 cm
Potatoes 7.62-10.16 cm
Pumpkin 2.54 cm
Radish 0.635 cm
Spinach 1.27 cm
