keep soil wet in first stage of growing?

[mamawailer]

is it better to keep the soil really wet in the very first days of growing so the seedling comes out or should i only water the soil when its very dry?

keep it damp but not soaked. best to use a mist bottle to keep the soil damp about 4" around the plant. use this method for the first 2-3 weeks. GL

Wet is never really a good thing.

Moist is a good thing.

really wet and really dry are polar opposites
