Some questions on starting seeds with the potmaker

You can throw the seeds that haven’t sprouted away. These are seeds that you would’ve normally planted in your garden and ended up wasting a lot of time by trying to get them to grow. Once sprouted on the napkin, it’s safe to plant into cells(potmaker cups for me.) You just poke a hole in the growing medium with a pencil and then place your small, sprouted seed in that hole. You don’t have to plant it very deep and you cover it lightly with soil. Sometimes I’ve just laid a sprouted seed right on the surface of the growing medium without even burying it. Then you lightly water-being careful not to drown it. In 3-4 days you’ll get something that looks like the last picture. These are all shots of kohlrabi-something I’ve never grown before but tasted for the first time a few weeks ago. I loved it.
