Soaking Seeds

MuddyBuckets · January 28, 2021

What to use and how long to soak tomato, pepper, okra and eggplant seeds before planting. Many different opinions on the process, time and prep for seeds before planting or germinating. Looking for suggestions that have worked for other TVs.

I have had success in soaking in pure water overnight and then germinating tomato seeds in a coffee filter using the baggie method. Open to ideas about using Hydrogen Peroxide first and then tea, just soaking in tea, or other creative methods to assist in germination.
