Soak Method” for germinating old seeds, like +25 year old ones.

1. Cut a 5 - 6 inch Fan from the Aloe Plant.
2. Slit it along the edge. Unfold, exposing the “Gel”.
3. Get a small Canning Jar w/Lid. Scrape Gel into Jar, chop Skin into small pieces, placing them in the Jar also.
4. Fill the Jar 1/2 or 3/4 Full with DISTILLED WATER. Cover with Lid.
5. Get Second Jar. Put a HANDFUL of Beans/Lentils (I steal a handful of Queen 's “15-Bean Soup Dry Beans”. Again, add Distilled Water.
6. Shake BOTH very well. For the next 3 - 4 days, give both a good shake.
7. On the 5th Day, strain both Jars, leaving only the Liquid. Combine the two, stirring well.
8. You can pour an EQUAL amount into each Jar. You now have the Aloe/Lentil Soak. Use it just as you would Water, H. Peroxide, or other Nutrients for germination. You can reuse the mixture, even storing it in the Fridge for 3 - 6 months.

If you have Very O-L-D seeds, add GA3 (25 - 30 PPM). It’s been noted to germinate 50+ year old seeds. I hope this method will aid in getting those stubborn seeds to become viable. SS/BW…mister

This was kindly sent to me by Misterbee. I will be trying this next time an old pack comes along.
