A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Food Garden Forum Basil seed sprouting

I have had no luck at starting basil from seed. is there some secret trick to getting basil seeds to sprout? I have tried, soaking in water, covering with a little soil, covering with lots of soil and not covering at all.
