I keep a bucket of sand and a container of vermiculite at the ready when I'm starting seeds...larger seeds get a sprinkle of vermiculite, and the smaller ones get a very light sprinkle of sand - then all get misted with collected rain water. Whether there's any basis in fact, or not, I'm a firm believer that everything gets going better with rain water.
