Sprouting


Has anybody pre-sprouted seeds between layers of wet paper towel loosely wrapped in Saran Wrap or stuck into a bread sack?  I haven't tried it with pumpkin seeds yet, but I have with lots of other seeds and it works great.  BUT, if you are pre-sprouting small seeds, don't use paper towel.  The roots grow into and through the fiber.  What a pain!  You have to VERY carefully tear up the paper toweling without damaging tiny roots. Large seeds don't do that though.
