This may require planting deeper than 1.5 inches under dry soil conditions. If you must plant deeper than 1.5 inches in order to place the seed into uniform moisture, make sure the variety has an excellent emergence score or long hypocotyl. Also, consider seed size when deciding how deep to plant.
Sperm is made in the testes, but stored in the epididymis, a gland where it is also matured. Sperm from the testes cannot yet move on their own.
The answer depends on a number of things, but the most important is where the sperm are located. On a dry surface, such as clothing or bedding, sperm are dead by the time the semen has dried. In water, such as a warm bath or hot tub, they'll likely live longer because they thrive in warm, wet places. But the odds that sperm in a tub of water will find their way inside a woman's body and cause her to get pregnant are extremely low. When sperm are inside a woman's body, they can live for up to 5 days. If you're a man and you have sex even a few days before your partner ovulates, there's chance she may get pregnant.
