Flour hasn't been a problem as it dissipates right away when you water the seedlings, but don't use corn flour or corn meal (it suppresses germination).

Johnny's Selected Seeds and Territorial Seed are good sources.

Excellent, thank you!

I picked up some seeds (lettuce) from Home Depot and tried to sow them but they are so fine, I can't spread them evenly. Any strategies to avoid a huge clump of plants in one spot.
