I used warm boiled water and a tablespoon of peroxide.
I did it this way without the peroxide (just the common stuff from the supermarket) about 5 weeks ago and had 100% strike, the seeds were fresh and all arborea these may be different because they are my own crosses. It is Summer here so I just planted straight into polystene boxes lined with newspaper and filled with washed river sand (which works better for me) here in all this heavy rain. I think the fresher the seeds the better the strike rate, the arborea were lovely fresh seed (I removed the cork first before planting).It took ten days to get them up and now they are looking like this ...actually they are much bigger than that pic as it was taken about 4 days ago :)
