How to sow seeds evenly

In this trick, you will be pleased not only with sim­plic­i­ty and speed, but also with the com­plete absence of any mon­e­tary costs. All you need is an emp­ty egg car­ton. It is best to take a “lat­tice” of 30 eggs, but if it is not there, a box of one dozen will do.

If the pack­age has a lid, cut it off and put it away. Then the low­er part — direct­ly the “lat­tice” with recess­es for eggs — press firm­ly against the soil pre­pared for sow­ing. Even rows of depres­sions will remain on the ground. Walk the entire gar­den in the same way. In this way, you will quick­ly and eas­i­ly pro­vide your­self with beau­ti­ful even rows, on which the plants will sub­se­quent­ly look neat and beau­ti­ful.
