Has anyone ever used seed strips? Do they work it?
seed strips
I've never used them, but you can make your own using toilet paper.
does it work
It works. I've used them a few times in the past.
Yes, they work. I planted some radishes and carrots using the tp strips this year.
i'll be the first one to tell you cheep TP and the older ya git the worse your eyes git them lil seedare hard to see cutten lil strips layen seed out and sprayen with a lil spray bottle helps set the seed put a layer on top and spray again . whan you plant make sure you have tiny strips make a row and plant or set as you wish in a small tub or in ground . your good to go . good luck
Thank you all I think I am gonna give them a try
OK -- exactly how is this done using TP ??
Here's one site that has good instructions, but there are many more if you Google it.

Thank you very much for that link. I'm going to try it when I plant my winter garden this year.
I learned this spring to make shorter strips. If you make them longer than about 2 feet, they're harder to transport without tearing. Also, don't bury them too deeply.
OHhhh.... now I get it. Thanks!
