What medium do you guys use to germinate Mexican ping seeds? A lot of what I'm reading on the interweb (which never lies!) says to germinate them in the same medium that you plan to grow them in. It also says to place them on top of the soil and not bury them. If I place the seeds on top of the relatively coarse all-mineral medium I've been using lately, they're almost guaranteed to fall between the pieces and become "buried". I'm thinking of using my regular stuff with maybe a 1/4" of sand on top? Or maybe I should just use NZS? Thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks, KK. Sifting would work, I guess, although I already gotten rid of most of the tiny stuff when I was preparing the media, so it would be a long process... As far as peat, though, wouldn't that put the seeds in a (detrimental) acidic environment?

Anybody do it differently? (The seeds should be available soon, so I have to make a decision.)
