Soaking seeds before planting is really useful for more even germination. I started doing this in earnest last season and was surprised at the drastic increase in successful germination. All it takes is popping the seeds in a small dish of water and leaving them 24 hours before planting as usual.
When soaking peas or beans they require a lot more water, at least 2cm above the level of seeds.
Anything big enough to handle easily I presoak, from onion seeds to runner beans.
Give it a try, I think you will be pleased with the results.
