PLANTING & GERMINATION TIPS: When planting seeds, sow at a rate of 10 - 12 lbs per acre, ensuring proper spacing for healthy growth and air circulation. Plant seeds at a depth of 1/2 - 3/4 inch for even germination. Maintain soil moisture until seeds sprout, and provide a germination temperature of 72°F. This helps sprout seeds effectively and supports strong seedling growth.
