Thought I'd jump in and suggest that instead of peat moss, you might want to consider using cocopeat (coconut pith fiber or coir) which doesn't require a wetting agent and is similar to peat moss in being pathogen free.
When I did my MG training in Alaska, we were introduced to using cocopeat, and I've been delighted with it ever since. The downside for me is that I've had to purchase it by mail order, but it's readily available that way.
For germinating most kinds of seed, I mix damp soilless starting mix 50:50 with damp cocopeat, It extends the starting mix and helps give the mixture a good texture.
Hope that helps!
