I take 4 paper towls and get the wet and wring out all the water. get 2 plates and put two of the wetpaper towels down and put desired seeds on on it. put the other two paper towels down on top of the seeds and cover with the other plate. the thing will look like a flying saucer. rid the extra paper towel away from the edges and let it stand for 2 days. presto, sprouts. 100% sucess so far. just make sure the seeds are in a warm place.
