Instructions

      First, take the garden hoe to one side of the garden and begin digging a shallow trench. You only need to dig the trench about 3 or 4 inches deep. Dig the trench the length of the garden.

      After you have dug the trench, take a water hose or bucket of water and fill the trench with water. Allow the soil to absorb the water.

      Once the soil has absorbed the water, take the seeds and sprinkle them in a line down the length of the trench.
