For many vegetables, there are considerable and fascinating benefits from sowing two or more seeds together, as opposed to a single seed per module or station. Here we look at multisowing in module cells, three to 10 seeds per clump, according to the vegetable.
You can do the same with direct sowing of larger seeds in the ground, using a dibber to make shallow holes for each cluster of seeds; whereas for small seeds like carrots, sowing direct in rows is easier and generally gives close spacings.
BENEFITS OF MULTISOWING FOR TRANSPLANTING
There is much to gain. Multisowing is an excellent use of time, space and materials, and you are rewarded with happier plants that germinate and grow more strongly.
