Re: seeds

My comment is that you should think back to "mother nature".In the natural
world how is the seed positioned and then what happens?

In my view roots always go down and leaves go up.If you have a seed that
reverses this it must be unique.

I like to lay seeds on their side and they almost always emerge shell free.

P.S.--unusually late and cool spring in this area,have not yet started seeds.
