How to grow Cilantro

As I am herb lover so my vegetable is incomplete without growing any herb so my very choice was cilantro.my first advice do to go big box store and buy cilantro seeds!!! you will think then how can we grow cilantro without seeds. I said don't buy cilantro seed.. see others stores in spice section coriander seeds(in some countries cilantro also known as coriander) they are much cheaper than buy cilantro seed and you will get tons of seeds. you can buy here as well cilantro or coriender seeds.
for cilantro seeds I sowed into pure compost along with some blood meal and some all purpose fertilizer . here is another trick cilantro seed takes long time to germinate so you split them for faster the germination process. but don't split them with anything, spread them on floor and do back and forth couple of times with shoe( you can split them with right amount of pressure) TADA!
compare upper bowl has whole seeds and bottom bowl has split seeds.

 
after sowing in rows see below picture as well after ten days( don't forget to sprinkle water every day)
my third and last trick  after ten -twelve day later sow some more seeds again so you can get more and more fresh cilantro leaves.
                  After making a trench in the bed something like shown in the picture then spread the seeds by hand as evenly as possible along the trench. add a little more potting soil over the top and then pat it down. sprinkle little water.
