Was reading on an old site where planting ripe seeds have a 80% germination rate at 3/4 to 1 inch depth. What about stratified seed?

I think 1/4 to 1/2 is better. You get leaf litter on the ground that rots and you can get 2 seasons worth if the seeds are not stratified. You plant them to deep and they will never get to the top.

I added a bunch of peatmoss to the dirt in my new patch.Has any one tried this before?The soil is poor and its under pine trees.

Pine trees are ok to grow seng under or at least white pine is the best and I have found it under other pine as well.

Thats the reason I chose the white pine trees.I just wondered if the peatmoss would help it or hurt its growth.Its a patch just to look at and get berries off the plants.

As long as you don't have to much peat. To much would not be good.

Don, do you remember an article in an old T&PC mag from the late 70s? It talked about growing 'seng under white pine and some enzyme released by white pine needles that accelerated root growth or something like that.

I know I've grown 'seng under white pine with real good results.

I've had the most success by broadcast seeding right before the trees drop leaves. Planting 'seng seed too deep is a common mistake.

Dont mean to jump in the way . but it will work Stickbow if you try to keep them out of the hot sun , and make shure you have alot of deep dirt because planters dry out quick.
