It's more about seedling growth than germination, since there is no nutritional value in DE you have to supply everything that is needed for a healthy plant, also when you go to transplant them into the garden there can be issues with root disturbances. I find it works good for grafting because in the healing chamber it's very humid and you can have more problems with fungi,diseases etc.with soil but with DE you mitigate those issues to a great extent, I can usually get about 95 to 100% success using DE but not so with soil.
