I considered pushing them into the plug thru the precut hole. But wasnt sure it the sprout would be able to push its way out of the plug.

So I dropped the beans in the hole and pinched a piece off the edge to cover it. I did add a bit of water for more moisture.

I peeked in and saw all seeds have cracked and I can see the tap. Hopefully I wont have too many issues. All will go in soil except one.
TheHerbalist Reviewed by TheHerbalist on . Rapid Rooters I wanted to start my seeds in Rapid Rooter plugs. I usually soak and do the paper towel thing. I just feel like trying something new. Anyway...the plugs came with no instructions. Im curious if I need to soak my beans 1st. Do I just drop the bean into the pre-cut hole in the plug? Or do I push the seed into the plug? And about how long do beans take to germ/sprout? Im using a tray-heatmat-dome combo. Thanks for any help in advance. Rating: 5
