Make Your Own Seed Tape

Pip Strachan, one of our subscribers asks:
 
“Has anyone tried making a flour paste as a glue and setting the seeds in a row with that on paper instead of the dollar store glued ones?”
 
Answer by Elizabeth:
 
Yes! Use toilet tissue as the paper, make a flour glue (1/2 flour, 1/2 water), pick up seed with tweezers, dip in glue, place individual seeds near one edge of the paper, spaced as you wish, fold the paper in half over the seeds and you’re ready to go.
 
Jennifer adds:
 
I’ve done this also & can vouch for the success of this method! In fact, unless you need to store the seed tape for any amount of time, the glue really isn’t even necessary. Just keep the tissue lightly moist and you’re good to go.
