  Having watched Carol Kleine covering her seeds with gravel, would you still do this with the tiny petunia, busy liz seeds etc.?

  No!
  
  But I might use vermiculite.
  
  Some seeds need light to germinate so in such a case I use vermiculite
  
  Some do not want light to germinate so in such a case I lightly cover with compost.
  
  With subjects such as alpines or plants grown in stony ground I would use gravel, to replicate their natural habitat!
  
  Now whether that is the right way or not I don't know but it works for me.
