How deep should you plant seeds?

I found this video today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e7zM6y2KUM and with seed sowing season just around the corner I thought people would find it helpful. It certainly surprised me!

Thanks for posting the link, Pen, it's really interesting. From his results it seems we should probably plant our seeds like bulbs - twice the depth of the size.

The tomatoes, though, were not a surprise, as I'm sure we've all had tomatoes growing in our compost heaps at all sorts of depths.

Thanks. That looks fascinating, Penellype. Will watch later.
