Take equal amount of peat moss, vermiculite and organic material (compost). These materials are readily available at any gardening shop. Vermiculite displays tendency to absorb moisture and so it keeps the soil material evenly damp even under hot sunny conditions. The moisture retaining capabilities enhances seed germination. The most common cause of seed failure is drying out which Vermiculite takes care off. Organic material is optional since seeds have a layer of starch in the cotyledon which is helpful and sufficient to provide all the nutrition seeds need in their first phase of development. This means you can just have simple and light soil mixture of peat moss and vermiculite in equal measure. After the seeds are germinated, provide liquid fertilizer. When you place the seed on the soil, cover it with a light layer of soil. You can press each of the seed lightly into the soil surface so that there is a good contact between soil and the seed. Water is the main initiator of germination and the main cause of germination failure is inconsistent watering. Once sowing of seed is completed, watering should be done using brass-seedling-nozzle which can spray fine mist. Since it takes a while for the soil to absorb the water, make three passes at five minutes to make sure soil is well moist. In the last step cover soil with plastic wrap and place the entire thing in a warm and dark location of your house for several days. The germination time varies from seeds to seeds and ranges from 3 to 7 days. On an average, tomatoes seeds take three days while an eggplant seeds takes 6 to 7 days to germinate.
