I use a 1/3 sand, 1/3 finished
compost, 1/3 soil mix. I use flat trays to grow in and I like to spread the seeds very thick then cover with a light dusting of the soil mix, then I tamp gently to get soil to seed contact.
Next I mist the top lightly, most of the water comes from the bottom and once it is damp, I pull it and let it drain. After that, it is just a mist over the top once a day until the seeds sprout, then bottom watering is used for 5 to seven days.
Harvest with sharp scissors.
