cold stratification
I ordered some seeds online, and have soaked them in water. *But, I'm not sure which is the best material to cold stratify them. *Some people are recommending damp sand, or peat, some say that a damp paper towel is good enough. *Also, which is better to plant the seeds in? *I bought one of those seed starter kits, you know the plastic ones with a clear lid and comes with peat pellets. *It seems everywhere I look, I come up with different information. *Where should I start? *Help!!!!

Re: cold stratification
Any of those things you mentioned will work but everyone has their favorite. For stratifying in the fridge I use coarse sand in a ziplock bag that's just slightly damp. For starting seeds I use a 50/50 mix of coarse sand and sphagnum peat moss. Here again many things will work but it's best to use a sterile soiless mix so you won't have trouble with fungus.
