Default Re: Insights on seed germination.

I found the theory of microbes/ non sterile soil interesting.

Has anyone tried germinating seeds directly in the ground outside? I sometimes use non-sterile soil to sprout musa-seeds. The problem is I sometimes get fungus. In a stable environment outside you will still have the microbes and fungus, but because of the naturalized eco-system in the outside soil, the fungus may not get a hold. Would be interesting if anyone tried this.

I also have success germinating musa-seeds in my little greenhouse outside. Natural fluctuations in temps I guess.
