I just use one paper towel. I pH the water to 6.0, soak the paper towel in it for a while, then squeeze out some excess and fold it in half, then in half again so it is in quarters. I place the seeds on one side, fold it in half again to cover the seeds, place it in a sealed plastic bag, and set it somewhere mildly warm, like on top of my LED lights. Two or three days pass and you should have sprouted roots showing, time to transplant!
