Do you keep the heating pad on continuously?

I saw some heating coils in a catalog that were pretty cheap ($16 or so) that
you cover with soil and plant the seeds.  Has anyone had any success with this
setup?  I wonder if they would still provide enough heat if I covered them
slightly, and placed Jiffy pots on them? Anyone?
