Deno can't be used with tiny or dustlike seeds. I do them in fine peatmoss in a covered container. I shatter the seeds in peatmoss that is damp and lightly press them in so they are in contact with moisture. Tiny seeds can't be covered or they would never make it to the surface.

Once sprouting, take a chunk of seed/peat and place it in a pot or seed flat filled with potting soil. First make a shallow furrow then place the mix along the furrow and gently pat it in. The strong will survive and continue to grow. As they do, you can seperate them by removing as needed to allow for the others to grow.

1] Photo is seedlings of Delosperma cooperi (iceplant) growing as explained above. The seeds are dustlike.
2] As they grew, they were potted to a 6-pack
