Seed Sprouting Problem
I used the paper towel method for a couple of years, but results were spotty, and you can smell the chlorine in some brands of paper.
Lately I've taken to adding some seedling soil (about a half inch, to retain moisture) to one of those small (2" wide x 4" long x 3" deep, or so) Ziplock storage containers. I place my seeds to the top, and spray till soil is fairly damp (not soaking) with ph'd water. Cover, and place on top of the fridge. Open daily for fresh air and to check the moisture. Great success rate, and no worries about chlorine or other chemicals from the paper.
When seeds crack-open, (barely a taproot, 2 to 4 days) I use tweezers to transfer to it's pot. I bury it between one and two times the size of the seed. (1/8 inch deep, or so) Always have. None of the problems mentioned in above posts from doing it this way, which makes me doubt the website claim.
