Means not to scatter seed around (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

denotes

'means' is the definition.
(denoting is a kind of meaning)

'not to scatter seed around' is the wordplay.
'to scatter' indicates anagramming the letters.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'seed' is an anagram of 'dees'.
'not' going within 'dees' is 'DENOTES'.

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
