Seeds FAQs
How do I grow my seeds?
Planting seeds is the first step in growing your own plants and crops. Despite the many varieties of seeds there are, they can be planted by using a seed tray and potting mix. For beginners we recommend starting off planting seeds indoors to make the process easier.
In general, when planting seeds, consider the following:
- What container the seeds will be planted in such as our Gro-Sure Visiroot Seed Tray
- What soil to use (we recommend a seed-friendly starting mix like this peat free wool compost for seeds)
- How deep the seeds should be planted in the soil (as a rule of thumb, plant at a depth of twice the width of the seed)
- Ensure the soil is moist enough and there is access to direct sunlight for the germination to take place
For an in-depth guide on this process, check out our guide on how to start seeding your plants indoors.

What are the advantages to growing seeds?
Aside from the experience of watching your seeds grow from the care you put in, growing your own plants is a fantastic way to save money. Not only is it a learning experience for the amateur gardener, it's a satisfying one for those who are looking to grow their own fresh produce, which also happens to be completely organic! As the seeds grow you have total control over every aspect that goes into their growth.
Growing seeds is a satisfying experience that requires love, care and a little patience. For the beginners, or the non-green thumbed, we recommend growing seedlings indoors as this increases the chances they will flourish.
