I recently bought the SmartSolve water soluble tape to make some seed tape and happily ran across your video! I am going to make seed tape for those pesky tiny seeds like lettuce, carrots, etc. I am curious to know how the germination was for the seed tape you made. Was the germination rate good? Thanks for showing the seed tape versions.

the nice thing about these is that during covid lock downs, you can take them and use them like toilet paper during toilet paper shortages.

I remember as a kid, my mom wasting a lot of Seeds by not using seed tape. Thanks for the tips.

I'm guessing the tape is sticky? Could you just put the seeds on the tape and plant without folding?

[@gardeninggal]

Hi Sandra -- it's sticky enough for small seeds or sure to not fold, but the problem is when you walk it out to the garden -- the tape can end up sticking to itself if it's more than a foot or two long. :) So folding helps keep the sticky side inside.

[@sherrypeterson1842]

Wouldn't it be easier if you fold it in half making a hard crease line before you remove the backing? I think it would make refolding easier when its loaded with seeds

Can you use this method for Petunia seeds?

[@gardeninggal]

Hi J Cam -- petunia seeds are tiny even by lettuce seed standards. It's certainly worth trying, but I would probably use the toilet paper + flour paste and skip the top layer of toilet paper. Best wishes!

Just use masking tape

idk, i googled this and masking tape is supposedly water resistant
