hand sowing
Scattering seeds manually
Hand sowing is the method of planting seeds by scattering them from the hand rather than using mechanical equipment.
The technique requires skill to achieve even distribution: She learned hand sowing from her grandmother, who could spread seed across a field with remarkable uniformity.
Also called broadcast sowing when seeds are thrown widely rather than placed in rows.
