I have a question and need to find out if I am doing this right. My question is how do you get the soil moist in the 72 cell trays? I put in the seed starter soil in each one and fill each cell with water but the water just runs completely out and the soil remains dry. I keep filling with water and the water drains out and the soil remains dry. I even let it sit in the water in the bottom tray to see if it would soak up into the soil but it wasn't as far as I could tell. SO I proceeded to pour water into each individual cell and stir it around with a tooth pick until all the soil was most. Now I want to get my tomato and pepper seeds started. I was thinking I would set them on top and add about 1/4" of the starter soil over them and mist the top of each one. Is this right or wrong? Will this work? Do I really need to dampen the soil over top of the seeds? I was told by the lady in the garden section at Walmart to bottom water instead of top water. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
