Germinating: Pellets vs Paper Towel

[Trueshoe]

Which method is best for your sprouts?... Peat pellets or Paper Towels? I have also heard that a thin cotton towel actually works better than paper towel as well. Any confirmation on this?...

I've germinated both ways and have had around 85% - 95% sprout rate either way. I've just heard some people say pellets are best and some say paper towel is best. Any reason to why you prefer the way you germinate?

I would say if the seed is viable then either way should work. Most of the time when seeds don't germ it's because it's either to cold or to hot. Keep your seeds around 75 to 78F when germing and you should do fine if they are viable...take care..

I favor the paper towel method
