Grow your own... beans and tomatoes

Step 3 Continue filling

The idea is to fill the rest of the tube with soil to the top. Since we're going to fill them to the top and seeds require different amounts of soil, pay attention to the packet but not until you've watered it down in the next step - compost is full of air and will compress massively. Beans usually need to be about an inch under ground whereas tomatoes require just a small amount of coverage (a fine dusting).

We're going to pre water these in the next step which stops the soil (and tomato seed) from floating out!
