Sowing

Sowing is the process of planting seeds. An area or object that has had seeds planted will be described as being sowed.

Plants which are Usually Sown

Among the major field crops, oats, wheat, and rye are sown, grasses and legumes are seeded, and maize and soybeans are planted. In planting, wider rows (generally 75 cm (30 in) or more) are used, and the intent is to have precise, even spacing between individual seeds in the row; various mechanisms have been devised to count out individual seeds at exact intervals.

Sowing Depth

In sowing, little if any soil is placed over the seeds. More precisely, seeds can be generally sown into the soil by maintaining a planting depth of about 2-3 times the size of the seed.

Sowing types and patterns

For hand sowing, several sowing types exist; these include:

  • Flat sowing
  • Ridge sowing
  • Wide bed sowing

    • Several patterns for sowing may be used together with these types; these include:

  • Regular rows
  • Rows that are indented at the even rows (so that the seeds are placed in a crossed pattern). This method is much better, as more light may fall on the seedlings as they come out.

    The shallow need to feel wanted
    Worshiped and adored never be ignored
    I give you love but you don't see it
    You never understand
    My world is in your hands and
    I have this thought in my head
    And it's about being noticed
    I have this thought in my head
    And it's about being noticed
    (No)
    We hide away
    Somebody stop me feelin' empty
    (No)
    We hide away
    (No)
    Somebody stop me feelin' empty
    You start the dance but I am leadin'
    I act out the abuse
    Bewildered and confused, oh
    Tonight I am yours but I don't feel it
    You say it's all a game, but one can only play it
    I have this thought in my head
    And it's about being noticed
    I have this thought in my head
    And it's about being noticed
    (No)
    We hide away
    Somebody
    We hide away
    Somebody stop me
    We hide away
    Somebody stop me feelin' empty
    We hide away
    Somebody stop me feelin' empty
    We hide away
    I have this thought in my head
    And it's about being no
    We hide away
    Somebody stop me feelin' empty
    We hide away
