1. 1.Try a traditional salt-shaker with small holes in the lid. A light sprinkle means only a couple of seeds come out with each shake -perfect for individual pots. This works well for basil, kale and similar-sized seeds. A thin layer of vermiculite over the top keeps the seeds moist and stops them from being blown away.
2. 2.For super-fine and precious seed, you can place each seed individually using a wooden skewer. Prepare your seed tape (see below) or seed-raising trays, place the find seed in an open container, then simply moisten the end of the skewer and touch it to a single seed. The skewer will pick up and hold the seed long enough for you to transfer it to its chosen position on the tape or directly onto the seed-raising mix. 
3. 3.Seed tape is a good way to space out seeds; you can buy this pre-loaded or use your own homegrown seed to make some yourself:

• Biodegradable sticky tape
• Scissors
• Seed
• Seed-raising trays
• Seed-raising mix
• Vermiculite

1. 1.Cut strips of sticky tape long enough to fit into your seed-raising tray.
2. 2.Lay it out, sticky-side up, on a workbench; use smaller strips of tape to hold the ends in place. 
3. 3.Carefully drop your seed onto the tape, spacing it out to suit your chosen species
4. 4.Fill the seed-raising tray with mix and create furrows about 4-5cm apart.
5. 5.Lay the seed-covered tape in the furrows. 
6. 6.For most small seed, a thin cover of vermiculite is enough to cover the tape to help it germinate.
