What is the deal with these things? I have a terrible time getting them

comes up but enough don't that I am asking the question.

Pepper and tomato most frequently
I wish I had an answer for you. The sales pitch for these coated seeds
is that either the coating protects, and promotes the plants, which you
say it didn't, or it is supposed to make the seed more amenable to
automatic planting systems.
I get at least 2/3 germination from new seeds, often more. Empirically,
it seems that you do worse. I would ask the company what's going on, if
I had any interest in continuing this effort.
Sorry, I can't be more helpful.
