I like Craig's Seed Seeding Method, but...
Planting numerous seeds in each of the 50 count cells is a great space saver, but... it really hurts when you drop one of the flats. I did that yesterday. That tray had about 450 seedlings (25 varieties). They dumped in a big pile. No way to discern which cell they came from. They were only 12 days old. I tried to transplant the larger ones. I hope they survive.
Oh yeah, and later that same day (11:30PM to be exact) my wife dropped a second seedling tray. Another 450 seedlings shot! We were up at 1AM trying to save some from that flat as well. I've done this for years and never had a disaster. Then we have 2 in 1 day. The bad part is it may be too late to re-seed. It's getting late here in Georgia. Needless to say, I had a sleepless night.
