I use damp coffee filters in a baggie. I didn't use to but now I do. Paper towels are too porous and the root winds its way into the fibers. I can see what's sprouted in 3 days and know if I have to take further action. My garden is so minimal this isn't a big deal effort-wise and I don't do it for seeds other than tomatoes.
