Once I have my soil in my trays like I want it, I wiggle the blade of a knife to make a diagonal groove to the right depth inside each sell. I overseed my trays for two reasons. I start hundreds of plants every year for my family, neighbors, friends, and also have enough to sell. Also, I do not like reseeding or having empty cells.
Once I seed the trays, I use the blunt backend of the knife to gently tamp the soil down. You want the soil to stay in contact with the seeds so they stay moist to germinate.
My love to all!
