I tried to say "Get the mix moist BEFORE pushing seeds in. Cotton flannel under a seedling tray makes it easier to bottom-water, but I also top-water occasionally. Many commercial seed-starting mixes benefit from adding coarse things like Perlite, grit or bark."

Thanks for the flannel trick for wicking water. I've got loads of fabric to repurpose now!!! I am a newbie with seed starting so all of the tips have been useful. Even got Tea Tree Oil per Trish's podcast tip.😁 I've got loss of babies popping up!
