Yes. This is a perfectly acceptable way to germinate seeds. This is how nature does it.

That's why I use the paper towel method.

It is possible... but I'd advise germing... that way in a day or two you know if they're starting..starting in soil you can stare at the pot for days waiting to see if they're good... IMO.

there are a few ways that some people say you can do to see if its good, if it floats, the color, and a few more but I am not sure how true it is. I always would just germ a few more then I wanted and hope for the best. I put them in a paper towel on a plate and then wrap the plate in plastice wrap and put it on a heating pad on low, and got a pretty good succsess rate
