Content: Scarification is the process of removing the coat off of your seeds, which allows moisture and oxygen into their embryos. This process mimics the natural process a seed would experience traveling through an animal's gut before being expelled. Use sandpaper or a small file to knick the seed coat. Afterward, put your seeds in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 weeks before planting to mimic the process of stratification. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/e8\/Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-4.jpg\/v4-460px-Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-4.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e8\/Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-4.jpg\/aid9911060-v4-728px-Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-4.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Choose a planting location with plenty of soil moisture. For at least 3 to 5 days after sowing your seeds, the soil must be moist. Use a soil moisture sensor to determine its suitability. Light is not necessary for germination, so shady spots are fine. Add organic matter to improve soil moisture retention.
