1) Yes, I have. I found that it is OK, but not so great that I would go to the expense to use it again. I can very easily and quickly space my seeds correctly by hand, so the time saving is minimal. I have also made my own, and I find that this completely defeats the purpose. Any time you may save by using it, will be used up ten-fold in the making of the tape.

2) These instructions are pretty standard. Some people prefer using toilet paper, some like kraft paper, but other than small variations like that, the method is more-less the same.

I have made seed tape like that (using newspaper instead of paper towels). It did take a bit of time, but I gave it to a friend that finds gardening intimidating and another one with arthritis (can’t handle the tiny seeds). It was just the right amount support and easier for me than planting the seeds for them when I am busy planting my own.

Sounds good to me, especially the part about making these up indoors in less than terrific weather. VS doing lots of thinning down on the ground in nice or especially not in bad weather.

Sounds like a very interesting way of sowing seeds. I know I’ve read/heard about this before somewhere/time. I downloaded & saved the PDF file for another day! Thanks Cherokee for posting the link. :-))

I use the “homemade seed tape method” with success—but with a couple of tweaks. First tweak, I use pages from last years phone book. The paper is thin and the inks used are soybased, so they are safe in the garden. Second, in the flour-water paste, I add a drop of food coloring so that I can better see the dots of paste. I use a toothpick to quickly place the paste dots. By making the paste fairly thick (think rich hand lotion), you only need a tiny amount and then lightly hand sprinkle the seeds over the page. If you get 2 or 3 seeds caught on a paste dot, use the toothpick to move the seeds to another dot. Easy peasy. Also, the paste dries well within 10 or 15 minutes. I just write on the pages as to what seed type they are, stack the pages and roll them up and place in ziplock bag until ready to plant.
