The movement of the seeds and the crnacikg of the soil inside the container is likely from watering and drying cycles in the container. The soil in a container, also, will become compacted. It is better to use soil with perlite or vermiculite to keep the soil aerated and make better use of water. The container needs to be well drained, as well, sitting in a dish or a tray for example.If you do that, or, have it self-watering, the depth of soil can be less than proscribed for soil depth for planting in the garden. In fact, many things may do better in a container than in the garden.Mint, for example, likes a container.I use containers for plants I want to keep away from bug pests or disease. Other than that, I use companion planting.
