Can I put a liner down when I plant my flower seeds?

I need to know if I can put a liner down before or after I plant my flower seeds. Should I put the liner down, then a little soil and then the seeds and then some more soil? I need help thanks.

Can I put a liner down when I plant my flower seeds?
The best (and cheapest) liner that I have found is to use layers of wet newspapers! If starting a new bed, loosen the soil a good 8-10" and mix in compost if using. Layer your wet paper layers -about 6-8 pages thick is good- and cover with your amended soil. Then plant your seeds as directed. This process will block weed seeds in the dirt from sprouting, cut way down on weeding, and, as the papers break down will naturally add organic nutrients.





You can also lay papers around established plants/shrubs (a couple inches away from touching plants) and cover with 2-4" of mulch to banish weeds and cut down on watering.
Reply:Whenthe ground is warm enough, do the soil about 3 inches deep.loosen well. smooth plant your seeds and cover lightly with soil....you may want to place brick etc, around them and cover with a piece of glass........
