Some seeds, that have a very high germination rate (for example, members of the cabbage family, like collards belong to), can be sown one seed per pack cell, and wind up with very few empty cells. I sowed these thickly, with seeds from last year. I didn't know if any viability would be lost, from seeds from last year. Didn't faze these collards, though, lol. Other seeds, though, don't have as high germination rate, or viability. This is one reason why I start seeds in a "community pot", first. Also, for some reason, tomato, pepper and eggplant seedlings seem to be stockier, with healthier roots, if transplanted once, before going into the ground, for good.
