How many minutes do you soak the extracted seeds in TSP?

Have you had success with Oxyclean? TSP is not available everywhere. Oxyclean has given me 100% germination (literally 100 out of 100 seeds sown of a dozen different varieties treated with TSP came up ~ the seeds practically burst from the soil) so far on tomato seeds and the entire process takes 30 minutes.

Sometimes the best way to write a gardening guide on a specific topic is to start a thread with some initial ideas and outline and then facts and techniques come up and get confirmed (or dispelled) over the course of the thread. That brainstorming thread can then be distilled down to a fact-filled, well-researched article or how-to guide. A forum topic is a great way to elicit a discussion, get viewpoints, and flesh out an idea. But when you're in gardening mode, it is disadvantageous to have to read a 12 page topic to remember all the key points you are supposed to remember.
