Faster germination (scarification)

Is there a faster way to germinate seeds? (Scarification)
有比較快的催芽方法嗎##CONTINUE##

Equipment needed :
設備需求:

1. seeds ( of course )
種子 (廢話)
2. paper towels
紙巾
3. air-tight plastic container
氣密的塑膠容器
4. pocketknife or sandpaper

I have found that I always get reliable germination results using the following technique :
用下列的技術我總是得到較可靠的發芽

輕柔地把種子的外殼去掉
我強調輕柔是因為如果太用力會毀了一個好的種子

把包有種子的紙巾放進一個不透氣的塑膠容器裡
4. Place in a warm location like on top of a TV set, VCR, or refridgerator.
把容器放在一個溫暖的地方像是傳統CRT電視機上面
5. Open every 12 hours to allow oxgen into the container and check on the seeds. Most should germinate in about 24 hours, but there may be a few that need a bit longer.
每隔12小時打開容器讓氧氣進入容器裡同時檢查種子
大多數的種子會在24小時內發芽
但也有些會花較久的時間

不建議用這個方法
因為去殼這個動作很危險
一個不小心就...
