I try to not use any pelleted seed as I am a home gardener and not a production farmer. The problem I have with pelleted seeds is that most are pre germinated before they are coated. So if you plant all the seed out then they should in theory sprout fine but they do not keep like regular dry or treated seeds would. My understanding is unless you use them up the year they are packaged for the germination rate will drastically drop. The seeds just are not very viable long term. So if you only plant small amounts any unused seed is not able to be used the next growing year.
