The Easiest Way to Start 100s of Seeds in a Tiny Space

There’s a faster, easier way to germinate seeds, and it doesn’t involve pots, trays, or even soil or seed starting mix.

The trick? Using paper towels or coffee filters to sprout your seeds more efficiently so you can save space, test germination rates, and find out which seeds are still viable.

Step 1: Gather your supplies.

– Paper Towels, Coffee Filters, or  Newsprint – Ziploc Bags – Seeds

Step 2: Moisten the coffee filters.

Wet the coffee filters and wring them out, so the paper is damp but not drowning in water.

Step 3: Place your seeds on the coffee filter.

Place your seeds on the bottom half of the paper, leaving an inch between seeds to give their roots room to grow. Fold the top half over the seeds to sandwich them.

Step 4: Place the coffee filter inside a baggie.

Slide the coffee filter (with seeds) inside the baggie.

Step 5: Wait for the magic of germination to happen.

Place your baggies in a warm area of the house.
