about an inch on top of a well conditioned bale. Mostly to have a medium to hold the seed while germinating. I use screened compost from our pile. Transplanted plants carry their own soil from the germination pot so I gently nestled the root ball in between the layers of straw. Then spread the compost on top mostly to hold in the water.
Transplanted peppers they didn’t like it too much but they are getting better.
