This is a really simple tip/trick to get the right distance between plants, when direct sowing seeds into a garden bed.

Required tools & materials:

1 x garden stake

1 x measured tape

1 x marker

Step 1: Read the directions on the seed packet, to obtain the desired planting distance between seeds.

Step 2: Grab a garden stake, and place a measuring tape along side the stake.   Mark on the stake the desired distance to plant seedlings.

Step 3: Lay down the marked garden stake where you wish to sow the seeds.

Step 4: Plant the seeds where you have marked! (That simple!)
