Sowing in Pans and Boxes
Pans should be clean and dry and have a crock (a piece of braken pot) placed over the hole at the bottom ; other crocks should be placed over this, and then a few leaves or some moss to prevent the soil choking the drainage.

Fill to within half-an-inch with sandy soil passed through a quarter-inch sieve. Press firmly and evenly and dust the surface with soil sifted through a very fine sand sieve. Press evenly with some flat surface and sow the seeds in as even a manner as possible, avoiding very thick sowing.
