Content: During growing season (typically April until October or November), high to medium-fertility soils like worm compost or garden compost are best. Low-fertility soil improvers such as leaf mould can be added during any season. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/62\/Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-5.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/62\/Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-5.jpg\/aid9911060-v4-728px-Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Sprinkle your seeds evenly over the ground before covering them with soil. After layering them on the soil, use your hands to dig them approximately 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) below the soil and cover them with an additional 0.2 inches (0.51 cm). The soil must be at least 77 °F (25 °C) for the establishment of seedlings. They grow fastest when soil temperatures are between 80 to 90 °F (27 to 32 °C). Seedling growth begins to decline when soil temperatures exceed 95 °F (35 °C). {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/e2\/Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-6.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e2\/Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-6.jpg\/aid9911060-v4-728px-Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-6.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Water the seeds regularly after you plant them to keep the soil moist.
