STEPS
TOOLS
Gather supplies together at your workbench
Press craft knife into polystyrene till you hit your bench then score a line to separate sprouted seeds
Press seeds into the holes with the sprouting area exposed. My seeds are watermelons, so I plant them round side in first
OPTIONAL: Press a nail thru a ziplock bag or a folded seed packet as a marker. You could just write on the top with a permanent marker
Next is the easy bit, float in your pond SEEDS DOWN and wait 1-2weeks for the sprouts to appear :)
