Easy.  Sprinkle a fine layer of granite grit over the medium.  The seeds
germinate through the grit.  The mosses and liverworts can't get a
foothold.

I do it with everything now.  Granite grit is available at many gardening
centers, and if it's not, ask them to order it for you.  I got a 40lb bag
for 6.99.  If you're lucky enough to live near a feed & seed store, they
will surely have it.  But avoid any grit that has crushed lime or
chemicals; only the pure granite is suitable.  

And it looks purty.
