Choose a planting location with plenty of soil moisture. For at least 3 to 5 days after sowing your seeds, the soil must be moist. Use a soil moisture sensor to determine its suitability. Light is not necessary for germination, so shady spots are fine. Add organic matter to improve soil moisture retention. 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).
