the seed

Ok.

Get more seeds
Boil water
Tie the seeds in a cloth
dip it in the water for 15 - 20 mins
Spread the seeds on a plate indoors and allow to cool
Plant immediately in soil that you mixed with pure chicken poo 2 weeks earlier.
Go back after 4 days and you should see your young ewedu plants

No problem. You can take pictures of each step as you are doing it and post pictures here so that people can learn from you.

Abeg did the ewedu germinate with d method mentioned ?

I tried three methods
1.Dip in very hot water for 5mins
2.Dip in water that's manageable enough to put your hand in without getting burnt -5mins
3.Plant without boiling

2 and 3 germinated , 3 germinated the most. I came to the conclusion,you don't need to boil the seeds;but before you determine that ,try planting a little of it before mass planting, under normal circumstances ,it should germinate 3-4 days

Same thing everyone says ,you forgot to give the temperature of the boiling water and the quantity.

Like I said earlier ,that boiling thing doesn't work.

for anyone reading,forget about boiling the seeds,just spray using broadcast method and wait for 3-4 days.

just boil few minute

Ever since I've been planting my ewedu seeds, I've never done the dormancy breaking (i.e dip the seeds in warm/hot water) and my ewedu seeds have been growing well just ensure you wet it frequently (morning and evening).






Goodluck.
