I fold a paper towel into four even squares then open it so its folded the long way and pop my seeds in. Fold it back so its a square. (This makes is so there is an even amount of paper towel)
Get antoher paper towel. fold it evenly, like i did the first one, drench it, squeez it gently and place it atop of the paper towel with the seeds in it. A paper towel or plate should be under the paper towel with the seeds.
This gives me a perfect amount of water and it does it slower than just pouring water on the paper towel.
Place in dark place. Not a cold place but kinda warm.
