How do I "nick" seeds.
Hi,
I recently bought some catnip seeds and the instructions say to nick the seeds then soak them in hot water for 48 hours. How do I nick them? They are very small seeds. Also any general tips on growing catnip would be much appreciated (I'll be growing them indoors) Thanks Thanks for any help |

If they are large seeds it can be done wit a sharp gardening knife. I would
think that small ones could be rubbed between 2 sheets of medium grade sandpaper. S "Ant" wrote in message ...

You don't it's a bit trial & error - providing you have broken the hard
shell enough to let the water in you have done the job. S "Ant" wrote in message ... "Noodle Doo" (spam) wrote in message ... If they are large seeds it can be done wit a sharp gardening knife.

I always wonder why we are told to do that...........it wouldn't happen in the wild. Anybody know why it's recommended? Jenny |
