Hello sjacobs .

Well I'm not sure about the best way, but I'll tell you how I do it.

Take four of five paper kitchen towels and place them on a sandwhich plate. Then give them a good soaking in lukewarm water, then drain off the excess water by holding the towels in place and tipping the plate upside down.
Put the seeds on the towels and place another four or five paper towels on top of the them, again give them a soaking with some more lukewarm water and gently drain off the excess water.

Put the plate in an even tempertured place out of the way, check regular to make sure the towels don't dry out and in two to four days the seeds will sprout. As soon as the sprout appears place the seed with the pointy end of the sprout facing downwards in the compost. Don't worry about giving the sprout light untill it pokes it's head out of the compost.



That's my way anyway
