Free gardening tip: Sow densely — seeds almost touching (step 2 of 7 from "Grow Microgreens on the Counter").
Scatter seeds across the entire surface so they are nearly shoulder to shoulder. For radish: about 1–2 tablespoons per 10×20 tray. For sunflower or pea: soak seeds 8–12 hours first (they are large and need hydration to crack), then spread one layer deep.
Press seeds gently into the surface with your palm. Do not bury them — a light press for soil contact is enough. Mist the surface thoroughly with the spray bottle.
Pro tip: If you can see a lot of bare soil between seeds, add more. Microgreens are not garden spacing.
