Avocados...

This may sound silly (certainly feels silly) but  I need to know -- as a
kid we often started avocados from split pits by putting toothpicks in them
and suspending them in water.  Now I ahve a pit I want to start and I want
to know if I can just bury it in potting soil rather than putting it in
water until it has roots and shoots.  If so, what are the recommended
conditions?

Thanks!

Nan

So goes an old chinese proverb:
         If you want to be happy for a few hours, get drunk;
         If you want to be happy for a week-end get married;
         If you want to be happy for a week, barbeque a pig;
         If you want to be happy all your life long become a gardener
