Can I directly sow the seeds into the ground?

The seeds are incredibly small. I started them in Jiffy peat pods and they sprouted in just two days. They aren't big enough to transplant into the yard yet though.

Absolutely! I do it all the time. Just be sure to go in a circular motion and when you get to the seed core you stop.

Absolutely! You just need to make sure the water level is high enough to keep your seed starting plug (rockwool plug is recommended) moist from the bottom. It is faster to germinate seeds in a seed starting system with a heat mat, but we also start seeds directly in our systems all the time. Good luck :)

I don't think so. The holes are large enough that the seeds would pass through. In my cooking classes we learned to press the seeds from berries in a fine mess strainer. Such as this one... http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-8-Inch-Double-Strainer/dp/B00004OCLX/ref=sr_1_4?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1408731180&sr=1-4&keywords=fine+mess+strainer

I don't know, but it seems like you could. They are live seeds, so why not? I know you cant use seed packaged to plant for sprouts because they put 'treatments' on those seeds, like to keep it from molding, etc. I would think that you could get seeds to plant cheaper though.

I don't see why not, but I didn't have much success with mine trying to grow in the ground. Good luck.

Just like if you were planting in the ground plant pieces approximately 8 inches from top of soil once they start sprouting you can mound if u want to. All I did was putting potting soil in then plant 10 potato pieces in each bag and then covered with 8 inches more of soil .

No, Flax seeds are to fine and would slip through the tines without being ground.

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

Hello! You can surely grow this in a regular pot. Just dump the soil mix inside the bag in your pot (or your own dirt too I suppose would be fine as well.) The seeds are in a little packet and I found them to be useful enough to fill said ugly sack twice. Hope your kitty (or dog.. I suppose dogs can nibble this as well; don't see why not) enjoys!

You can start from seed, I would recommend using a rockwool cube or similar substrate however, as leaving a seed in the pebbles will probably result in overwatering/rotting/or lack of germination.

You could try running a wire from the seeds to a kitchen pipe in order to ground the seeds. Alternatively you can also order ground chia seeds, which I assume means they come pre-grounded.

I agree that the seeds are rinsed and stirred up daily,then drained. propping allows more room to grow.

You certainly could but the holes are so large, I think you'd go through seed too fast for my budget. I try to encourage the birds to clean up the ground after themselves but that hasn't always worked.

They are not too difficult compared to Chamomile, Epazote or Creeping Thyme on a windy day!.. lol You can mix the seeds with a handful of potting compost, dry silty earth, or sand to help you. Although those methods are best for broad-casting seeds you can still get good results for rows or scattering into flats. Hope this helps?

No, this is intended for starting seeds. The seedlings should be transplanted to your vegetable garden bed. If you are container gardening, transplant to large containers with potting soil.

Yes, you can...but they are much better toasted. I don't use any oil or salt. Place all seeds on the large skillet and it takes only about 5 min. on the medium-high heat with constant stirring.
