Sow the seeds – Once the base is all set, dig shallow holes at a distance of around 3 inches so that the seeds get enough room for themselves. Add seeds in all the holes and cover them with more soil mix. After the seeds are set, sprinkle some water on the top layer as well. Seeds and fertilizers can be easily found at any gardening store.
