RE: Seed Filing
Tom,
Do not file the pointed edge of the seed at all. Elsewhere gently use a
nail file or regular file on the edge of the seed until you see a tan (or at
least slightly darker) colored line appear, then stop. This technique has
greatly enhanced germination for me, especially when combined with
pre-soaking.
Best of luck,
Chris Wilbers

Hello List,
How necessary is seed filing?
I have seen it mentioned on some web pages, but not all of them.
If it is necessary, what is the best technique for filing the edges of the
seeds?
Thanks,
Tom
