I don't know about better methods, I just got my seeds (WHOO HOO!!) and stuck four between damp paper towels in a ziplock on top of my stereo because I think that'll be the warmest overnight... I figure right on top of the heating vent might fry 'em, eh. Anyhow. The only thing I have to suggest, which I'm also doing, is to germinate them in batches instead of taking all ten at once. That way if something happens, contaminated water, overheated, underwatered, overwatered, whathaveyou... at least you have the rest to fall back on. Just my two cents. Cheerio!
