When you place the seed in the hole, do you cover the hole up or leave it as is?

I left them as is. No need to cover them. Just make sure the seeds are placed into the hole deep enough (at least 1/2 "). I use Long tweezers to insert the seeds Individually. Works great.

I used the refill box in the same manner as the wooden box. I simply placed the refill on an old plate, watered and set it on a sunny windowsill. I've reused the same refill twice. I simply plant new seeds and cover them with a bit of the mixture. I have plenty of seeds left, so now I'm going to grow them in my own potting soil.

Just follow the directions on the package. I used a seed spreader, put it down like you are putting down fertilizer. You need to water the lawn then.

The seed is coated and I have had good results with this product. It plants as much as the seed not coated as more survive and thrive.

Just sprinkle a little bit on the roots when transplanting, or in the hole where you are going to put it. The main thing is just to make sure it touches the roots of the seedlings.

the piece that lays in the bottom has 2 flaps on it, they go where the holes are, make sure they look like they are upside down . fill your bottom container with water before you put the soil in also, that helps so the soil will not go into the bottom part.

What I usually do is reattach the original wax paper backing over the seeds. It's easier to get the backing on straight if you cut you tape into shorter strips, about a foot long.

The degree to which the holes are opened controls the heat, moisture and condensation. I generally start with the holes closed. Depending upon how long and how hot it gets, I open them partially until comfort level is reached.

I found a little instruction paper hiding inside the outer black plastic container (the one without the dirt inside), don't worry I couldn't find it the first time I bought it either. It's super simple, basically all you have to you is unwrap the dirt medallions, there is a thin mesh around it that is holding it together, and return one to each square. Add a few tablespoons of water to each square and let the dirt soak it up. They recommend waiting about 10 minutes to give the dirt enough time to soak up the water. Once the dirt has absorbed the water and looks like dirt you would find outside, remove a little from the top and put one type of seed in each section and replace the dirt. Hope this helps! =)

I really don't know, but I planted too late (1 bag) and had so much come up.........too late! I plan to put it down early this year and will need 3 bags+ for the area to cover. It was easy to sprinkle and water,......... next time I will cover the area with something so the birds don't eat the seeds!

For rabbits I sprinkle it around the perimeter of the garden. For gophers, I pour a little in the hole and cover it. I seems to work a little better for rabbits. It needs to be reapplied every couple of weeks.

Correct. Get a large plastic tray from the garden shop and put under the seed tray. This way you won't waste water.

It can be left exposed to the sun. My brother has used it for years with no covering (me too but not nearly as long). I plan on putting down more with no covering. Things tend to grow in most coverings, altho the roots do not get huge.

When you clean it out (and taking it apart to clean out is easy) you may find some seed caked on top of the feeding openings. But that's it. The majority of the seed stays dry in its plastic box.

I'm sorry, I answered I incorrectly before, the mesh probably is fine enough to keep the seeds from slipping through.

I don't see the need for a cover. Like the other responder, the design lets excess water run off, and the birds don't seem to mind wet seed! As for squirrels, they are welcome at my feeder, along with an occasional opossum. They all coexist in nature with the birds.
