I used to soak for 10 days, only soaked for 5 this year, after reading
the soaking experiment article that was in the AIS Bulletin.

Robin, don't forget, the germination inhibitor(s?) that is removed by
water isn't the same as the inhibitors that are removed by cold
temperatures.

Christian, normal rainfall & watering will soak for you.

<I had decided to soak longer because they will have less time to leach
out the germination inhibitor before the normal germination time.

<Do you soak for 3 weeks? I only do 3 days. How long do others soak for?
