Another time, if you water the compost well before you sow the seeds and then just sprinkle a little drier compost over them, depending on the size of the seed, you can then put the whole tray in a plastic bag with the end left open for a little air circulation. You shouldn't need to water it then until the seedlings are well up, but if it does dry out then Seaburngirl has the naswer.

pot the lupins on when there are 2-4 true leaves.[they look like many leaflets. the seed leaf is paddle shaped.] They produce a deep root so a deeper pot is better than a shallow one. dont put them in too big a pot though. I've made that mistake before.
i you put the other pot of seeds into a tray of water the compost will draw up the water. I use the trays I get sausages in. does that make sense?
