Love your information on seed germination. I would also like to know more information about which seeds need darkness or light, when germinating. Wither the seed should be planted point down or on the side? The depth of the seed to the size of the seed? The type of the soil to the type of plant… any information that will give me better success for seed germination. Thank you
