Default Seed Tape

This year will be my first year making my own seed tape. I ordered some last year from Park Seed and it was ultra expensive. It did although make planting so much easier and not as much waste. I'm going to use it for small seed such as lettuce, radishes and such.
I found a site that offers just the rolls of seed paper if you don't want to make your own. Just thought I would pass it along.

Thanks for the link. I've read somewhere on some other website where you can make your own seed tapes. It was either out of toilet paper or paper towels. I guess you could essentially make it out of any type of paper but there would be the difficulty of getting the seed to "stick". I will have to try and find that link.

Here you go tomatoaddict: Best-Ever Seed Tape

I use white liquid school glue (you know the brand!) 1 teaspoon per 16 oz. of water, filled in a small spray bottle. This glue does NOT inhibit the germination process; in fact it may aide it.
