We seed using the Stella Natura Biodynamic calendar, according to the
cycles of the planets. Peppers are seeded on "Fruit" days.
A "fruit" day preceding the full moon is a big help!
We also first soak the seeds in a solution of 1 tsp. Potassium Nitrate
(Salt Petre) to 1 quart water. This helps to loosen the seed coat and
significantly speeds germination. You can find salt petre at a
pharmacist; you'll have to sign a piece of paper indicating your usage,
as Potassium Nitrate is a regulated chemical.
Robert / everyone - Is this good for all seed? Is there a downside to it? (anyone?) Would it be appropriate to use on the fava beens we are seeding outdoors this week, but wishing we had seeded last fall?
Thanks -Allan
