Yes we did. Then we planted them in started pods before planting them in the ground. The did great.

I planted them outside in a big tractor tire without soaking. They were beautiful and are coming back again this year I noticed. Texas, zone 8

I had surprising success with using MiracleGro potting soil and a heating pad. Kept the growing medium slightly damp and there was germination in no time! I'm growing three little trees in my unheated greenhouse right now with so-so success. Plan to try another batch next spring. I'll transplant those outside once the danger of frost has passed.

I thoroughly watered first, but I had effective drainage. Mine were more or less dry when they arrived.

I did not soak mine and they grow beautifully. soaking would give them a boost.

I removed a five inch layer of soil from bed. Burned soil with a torch. Repeated after adding layer back. I have beautiful impatiens this year after down mildew ruined my plants last year. AND after all advice was pretty bleak about planting them again in the same area for a very long time

I tried sprouting them by leaving them on a water-soaked napkin. Unfortunately, I was away from home, so that did not go through; I was shocked though that the few seeds that fell through into a plate in the sink did sprout wonderfully!

Yes. Just dip it in some water or snuff it out in the ground or the dirt of a potted plant. They start just fine the next evening.

I soak mine for 2 days. drain them and cover in fridge. spread term over the organic soil and a sprinkler of azonite, then cove 3 days cool dark area of house. Uncover in early morning, leave in a shaded bit lite area until it gets almost to peak heat. not in direct heat, it dries out quickly..,but then I put them back in the coolest room with lite until its time to graze. it grows quick. Hope this helps. YES you can. I use a tri appetizer tray from the $ store. Its great, you can take a block to go!

I'm sorry but I have yet to plant my seedlings. I've read about people cutting the coating off before planting and others just planting as is. I'm just going to plant as is, without cutting off the coating.

I am using my own tomato seeds. Actually, I saved the little plastic inserts that held the sponges--they clean up fine. For seed starting I replaced the little sponge with half a rockwool mini cube. It works great. I was thinking of buying the master gardeing kit but I haven't yet. I'm still on the fence about that, cause I have my own nutrients that I can add to the garden instead and I don't have to spend $40.

i let them soak in lukewarm water for an about an hour before placing them in the soil ...this helps the tough seed to get hydrated...and germinate more quicklygerminate more quickly

Well for the most part the instructions you need depend on the seed your trying to sprout. Not the sprout-er you decide to use. Generally, you take the amount of seeds you want to sprout. You soak them for about 6-12 hours depending on the seed you choose. You then rinse them off and drain them. You place them in the sprouter. Place some in each compartment of the sprouter. every 12 hours or so you rinse them in the sprouter and make sure they drain well and re stack them. That's it. wait til they get to the level you want them . Then , you eat them .

It depends on the herb. I managed to get nice healthy clumps of everything I planted. we just moved in so I had to start from scratch. I did try some indoors and they didn't do so well. I will post pictures the spring when everything comes back up

No. It appears to be some kind of sphagnum product. I found it best to soak them, add the seeds and then insert them into the seed starter.

Yes, it is definitely better to sprout by soaking/rinsing before planting, I've tried both ways and this one is the best one, enjoy!

Chris, I soaked the seed overnight and then planted in moist germinating mix at @ 80 degrees. ALL the seeds sprouted in about a week! I don't know how long they will take to produce, this is my first year with them. Other ultra hotties I grow usually take @ 100 days from planting. It also depends on how hot the summer is. I am in Maine.

I don't know, but the inoculant I used did not "soak" the seeds. It was more like a "dusting" such as powered sugar.
