Lots of ways to germinate seeds. I really don't know which method is best - but one cardinal rule that old timers ALWAYS followed: always plant by the Dark of the Moon (new moon). Is anyone aware of this? It can't hurt! First grow germinated 18 out 20 seeds directly in the soil.

Is this really true? I have planted many seeds
on full moons and they have not!! So myth or fact?

So - you are saying you had a low germination sucess rate with planting during full moon?
