Answer
Seeds should be tested for freshness. Seeds that are not fresh may start to decompose before or instead of sprouting. Decomposition bacteria will quickly spread across the tray. A good rate of germination is 99% or better. To test: spread 20 seeds in an EasyGreen™ cartridge, mist them with a hand mister, and insert in the EasyGreen™ growing compartment for 48 hours. If fresh, all seeds should sprout. If only one seed didn‟t sprout, the rate of germination is 95%.
