Good question, Lisa - all I can say is that I am very careful leaving enough "depression" for each cell (depth below the top of the ridge), then cover with mix and just use mist spray to wet, until they emerge - but there is always a chance for a "jump". However, in all my years of doing this, I've had very, very few of those that I've noticed (usually looking at potato/reg leaf neighbors, or purple leaf/green leaf peppers). The biggest risk is a seed falling from my hand into another cell when planting - I tend to catch those and thus can pluck out the erroneous seed.
Yes, the record keeping is intimidating - but is analagous to my real job, where I end up tracking minutes, actions, project plans, etc. So is nothing new for me - plus at least the gardening record keeping task is fun!
