I do something similar for herb germination, except I use single ply toilet paper or tissue instead of a paper towel. When the seeds germinate, they break right through the paper, which breaks down into the top layer of soil. That way I don't have to worry about removing the paper towel.

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I don’t remember exactly when it sprouted, it was a while ago now. I remember I had bought a little pot of cilantro and I never got around to planting them. They of course went to seed so I just decided to bury the whole small plant in one of my raised beds 😝 Then it all sprouted late in the season very densely and made it through the winter. Some type of cover like a milk jug or something probably would have been perfect to keep it clean from the splashing rain on the soil.

I think you can Kin if you can move the entire soil profile as a block without disturbing the plants. That way, they won't even know they've been transplanted. Cilantro also does grow fast enough that you COULD get away with no drainage and careful watering.....
