Don't Use Too Much Seed In buying seed, it is wise to plan the amount needed for the space to be planted. A half-ounce of carrot seed, for example, might all be put into a single 100-foot row. The half-ounce half-ounce of seed would contain about 12,000 seeds, and if 90 per cent of them were to grow, according to the germination test, that would mean nearly 11,000 plants in the row or about 100 to 110 little carrot plants to each foot of tow. Actually 25 leeds to the foot is about right.
