Deeply Rooted
I till with the Mantis, trowel the bed smooth with a 24inch cement finishing trowel and compress the surface a bit with the same trowel, dibble the whole bed at once, use a second stair tred to lay across the top of the bed for me to lean on while i seed each hole.
Once the seeds are in i brodcast 50/50 potting soil and compost over the bed to cover the seeds; pinching takes too much time and defeats the purpose of a “perfectly prepared bed”.
Then compress the surface a little more. It sounds WAY more involved than it really is. I can do 3 beds in a day pretty easy. Once the beds are seeded i run a sprinkler for a bit to evenly wet the surfaces and in a couple days lay my drip lines; and kick back for the year!
