Don't Pre-Germinate Your Seed: Do THIS Instead

Follow
Turf Mechanic

One of the most wellknown ways to get grass seed to grow as fast as possible is to pregerminate your seed however the process of soaking seed and changing out the water a couple times every day for 35 days straight can be troublesome and once the seed germinates much of it can be lost before it ever gets to the ground.

For this reason, I prefer priming my grass seed which is a much shorter process and can yield results in only a few hours of warm water priming. To test it however, I wanted to compare the quick priming method of seed starting with the Soil Moist, seed coating method that some people believe works.

I believe Soil Moist might help for seed that can't be watered as regularly but for a seeding experiment that stays damp the way it should every day I don't think it helped speed things up at all. You can see Soil Moist here if you'd like: https://www.amazon.com/SoilMoistSee...

Soil Mastery Fertilizer W/ Disbursable BioChar is no longer available for sale (unfortunately). There are few good allinone products out there to serve as a perfect alternative. One close alternative is this product from Anderson's company which has a lot of everything but is lacking in kelp and biochar: https://turfmech.link/AndersonsPGFC...

Alternatively you could look into Soil Fit (803) which has a lot of the desirable biostimulants that Soil Mastery has but is lacking BioChar: https://turfmech.link/soilfit18lb
