I'd love to hear the results, I may not get to
that this year.

Hi Susan, I have a friend who swears by her
water bed heater for seed
starting. So much so that I am going to try it
this year. By the way, I
advertised in our local newspaper (free ad) and
got LOTS of responses.
Ended up buying one for $3.00 and then two
others offered theirs to me
free. Others wanted from $10 to $25 for theirs.
I have a friend who
bought a Seed Starting Mat from one of the
garden supply catalogs for
$100.00.  In one of those catalogs, they show a
picture of the mat and a
metal frame that separates the seed trays from
the mat. I am going to use
one of my wive's oven grates for mine. The
heaters that I got have
thermostats and a probe to control the
temperature. The probe is placed
in the soil. Again, I have not done this myself,
but have a friend (a
master gardener) who has and is very happy
with her results.  I'll let
you know how mine works later. Good luck.
Bob
