And also, it gets me off my duff and into the sowing after the 2 day soak - NO MORE time to procrastinate. Eat well, and I prefer organic methods myself.<br><b>References : </b><br> I have done both and like the soaking of the seeds first – seems to reduce germination by a few days.

This is when the sprouts may damp off from too hot a container and from too much sunlight. Fertilizer is not really needed at this point since the soil mix will have most of what's needed, later fertilizer should be added carefully. Good Luck.<br><b>References : </b><br> You can sow the seeds in the potting mix with a moist feel to it, cover them with a thin layer of soil, and then cover the container with a clear plastic film that can then be placed in a window for a few days, when the sprouts appear, partially shade them and avoid over heating the container.
