First of all, what type seed besides onion and spinach? What type of medium are you using besides the direct seeding?
1) start root crops @ full moon
2) start other seeds at new moon
I've stopped buying bagged soil for the most part, but do grab a bag of Foxfarm's Ocean Forest now and then for real touchy kine stuff.
I start 'em in shallow trays with a translucent or clear plastic or cellophane to keep in moisture until they sprout up. I use this method for almost everything and it works well. Of course I live in Mt. View near forest reserve and get plenty moisture, sometimes too much!
