Seed scarification is the natural
Seed scarification is the natural weathering and damaging of a seed's casing. If growing milkweed, is this something we can do that will benefit our efforts? Do we need to do it? And even if we don't need to, is there still a benefit if we choose to? What techniques are better or worse? We can read plenty of internet blogs and pages that have opinions on this topic from every angle, but I say, evidence always speaks louder than words. Time to put seed scarification to the test!
Special Note: This episode was filmed in late July of 2020 through early August of 2020. I wanted to put this out much earlier, but a worldwide pandemic sorta got in the way. Thank you to all who haven't faltered and knew I'd be back at it. Your words have helped a very rough two years. Thank you.
