Brandon,
I am going to try using a waterbed heater for starting
my seeds
this year. I am building a box out of styrofoam
insulation,
laying the heater in the bottom, and covering it with a
sheet of
plastic. Then I am putting in about 4 inches of
sand in to help
maintain a constant temperature. I will set my
peat pots about
2 inches into the sand.
So far I have been able to maintain a temperature between
86 and 92 degrees. The temperature seems to fluctuate
this
much about every hour, but stays within this range all
the time.
I am going to start germinating on Friday, April 30th,
so if you
start before I do and use the waterbed heater, please
let me
know how it works.
Good luck,
Dan in Vermont.
