Gather a few pots of soil, or choose an area in the garden for the dill. Each pot will contain between 8 and 20 seeds, so make sure there are enough pots for the number of seeds you have. You will need enough room in the garden for proper placement of each seed, so make sure the area has plenty of space.
Dig trenches in the garden or pot. Trenches are long, narrow holes approximately 2 inches deep. The dirt needs to be well-drained, moderately rich, loose soil.
Place the seeds approximately 12 to 15 inches apart. Move the dirt along the edges of the trenches over the seeds, carefully covering each seed fully.
Water the plants on a regular schedule, expecting to see small sprouts in 7 to 10 days. Plants will be ready for harvest or sale in 6 weeks.
