Nesa (and everyone else),
When you try the pre-sprouting with seeds is it always because you have
trouble getting seeds to sprout in the soil? I have never tried doing
this and am curious as to why it is done.
What other benefits do you find in doing this? I am gearing up to
start my seeds for this season and may try it. Do you do the
pre-sprouting when you are starting seeds indoors? I usually start many
plants indoors 6 - 8 weeks before they can be outside.
T.I.A.
