Sorry one last thing. I might try, both sowing them in situ and using those biodegradable fibre pots with a plant in each, then planted out. When using those pots is it best to use soil from the garden, or compost.
I don’t know a massive amount other than I read poppies are better to just scatter on the ground as that’s what they would naturally do. I did this with sand Which is supposed to help spread out but mine didn’t spread out in some areas. I did have quite a lot of seeds though so maybe that’s why. However, I think it was advised to do this a few months ago as they need a cold snap to germinate.
I didn’t cover them with any soil either, just scattered and left them, gave a sprinkle of water every now and then. They seem to be growing ok so I’m just toying with thinning them out or leaving them to grow as they landed.
