Seed tape

Show Date: 25 Mar 10
Making seed tape is a fun (cheap and a little messy) way to get your kids involved in gardening.  And what kid doesn’t like messy!

Flour, water, seed and newspaper, that’s it!  Oh and some salt. 

Mix a 1/2 cup of flour with enough water to a consistency of thick gravy.  Follow packet directions for seed spacing.  Use a toothpick to apply the “glue” to the seed and newspaper.  You may want to try this a few times till you get the hang of how much to use!

Let the “glue” dry then roll up those 1 inch wide strips of newspaper, pack them in ziploc baggies with some salt to absorb moisture and you’re good to go!
