I regularly stratify one or two plants worth of seed seperatly in a small pouch made from screening. Stratifying is easy if you follow Scotts idea, you won't have any problems.
We don't use sand like everyone recommends, forest mulch works fine with no loss or disease, never lost any to disease knock on wood. It's what they would normally stratify in.
Seperating the seed from the mulch and float testing them is work when you have a few pounds.
A test to see if the seed is good, split the seed with a knife along it's seam, you should see a pure white firm bean like stuff on both halves and a small yellowish sprout. Any spots of discolouration is a reject. Test ten seeds in a row if they are all good then you have good seed.
