Seed Depth
The planting depth of seeds in your Garden Starter Tray will not necessarily be the same as
recommended on seed packets from suppliers. Each Grow Sponge has a small, tapered hole
near the center called a Dibble. The Dibble is adequate for most small and medium sized
seeds. For larger seeds, the Dibble may need to be enlarged. We recommend using a Tray
Layout or Seeding Log to keep track of which Dibbles need to be enlarged. Please refer to the
table on page 7 for some guidelines on planting depths.
Changing Dibble Size
Enlarging Dibble size requires only tweezers.
• Open tweezers to desired width of Dibble opening.
• Insert open tweezers into Dibble to desired depth, then
close tweezers.
• Pull up on closed tweezers to remove part of Grow Sponge.
• Repeat above steps until Dibble is desired depth.
• Be sure to make all Dibble adjustments before seeding
the Tray.
