Step 6Adding the soil
Next add the potting soil, leaving the top 1/2 inch empty. Read the directions on the back of the seed packet for planting depth. Add multiple seeds at that planting depth. Ignore the seed spacing instructions on the back of the package. You will end up transplanting these seeds into a clump of herbs, which seems to work well in healthy, watered soil.
For a smaller bottle, add 8-10 seeds. For larger bottles, plant up to 18. This operation best for basil, it grows and will need to be transplanted the fastest. Thyme, cilantro, and parsley grow a little slower. Oregano and rosemary seem to take forever, for which the whole Seed Starter "forget it in a windowsill for 3 months" schema works well.
