Question
hey, my science teacher assigned me to do a proyect and i have to look for informtion on how do people determine how deep to plant seeds? Thats it, I keep looking on the internet, but I just cant find anything about it, can you please help me?

Answer
Hello Ednik;
First, I don't like helping with homework. Second, your teacher should teach you grammar. Third, you should check your spelling.
  Now for your question of how deep to plant seeds. The smaller the seed the less depth you plant it. It has a small reserve energy supply to push up through the soil. Most small seeds should be planted one-fourth of an inch deep. This will cover them up enough to hold the moisture they need to sprout. Most larger seeds do not need to be planted more than one-half of an inch deep.
I hope this helps you.
