We’ve all heard the Chinese proverb, “If you want to be happy all your life, plant a garden.” All of us gardeners understand that one! But we also know how disappointing it is when we plan a garden, plant the seeds and the seeds just don’t come up. So why do we continue to plant seeds rather than buy established seedlings and transplants? Because all of us gardeners also know that plants grown from seed are going to provide us with the healthiest and most abundant plants.
One strategy for ensuring seed germination success and increased rate is to soak the seeds in a seed germinating solution before planting in the soil. The Happy Gardener’s SeaResults Micronutrient Solution is a gentle yet highly effective organic plant food that can also be used for seed soaking. Formal tests performed at Stony Mountain Nursery proved that by soaking seeds in a diluted solution of SeaResults Micronutrient Solution for just fifteen minutes before planting will increase seed success and root growth.

Day 6 of SeaResults soaked seed vs no soak
This photo shows two Morning Glory flower seeds. One had been soaked in SeaResults Micronutrient Solution for fifteen minutes before planting. The other had not been soaked and was planted in soil as per seed package instructions. The seed soaked in SeaResults shows significant root and leaf growth on Day 6 in comparison with the Day 6 seed not soaked.
Soaking your seeds prior to planting is an easy and inexpensive way to provide your future garden plants with more success and healthier development.
