Growing Ficus Benjamina from seed

G'day,
I purchased 150 Ficus Benjamina seeds on EBay. The instructions in planting them are not very clear.
I would appreciate the best was to plant them so that I manage to get a good result. I live in Maryborough Qld and I really get frost on my property.
Cheers Perry

Really or rarely? From what I've been told, plant when you would normally repot a fig, ( when overnights are 18 degrees celcius ) I could be wrong though.

I have never bothered with seed - I either collect or propagate by cuttings or air layers. It shouldn't get too cold up there - I would hedge my bets and plant some now and the rest in about August or September.
