Intent goes a long way too, you can sing to your seeds, you can whisper to them: dear beautiful, strong, fertile, vigorous, funky, awesome, amazing seeds, I intend for you to unfold yourselves into the most glorious expressions of existence, magnificent beyond anything I can even imagine.
What you can also do is SPIT ON THEM, or just put them in your mouth and spit them unto the soil, our saliva contains lots of enzymes that should soften the shells, providing beneficial bacteria and triggering them into growth.
Ofcourse what you have eaten just before will influence the outcome, make sure you have eaten a piece of fruit to increase potential for positive outcome.
Wormcastings work so well because the slime the worms add to the soil when it comes out their backend is quite similar to saliva. Worms are really like 90% mouth.
They’re spindely mouths.
I’ll copy this into its own thread, it’ll be a hoot.
Edit: Spit on them
