Does anyone have experience with, or tips to offer on building a box to
contain electric soil heating cables to provide bottom heat for starting
cuttings? I have a 12 foot cable which should heat a 3 square foot area, and
a 6 foot cable to heat a 1.5 square foot area. The directions for building
said box appear to be in Japanese.
Can I use perlite inside the box to facilitate easy removal of the rooted
cuttings?
How do you plan to keep the electric cord from getting wet when you water the
cuttings?
