I know last year we all talked about our germination chambers. I know if you queried the search engine
http://www.mallorn.com/lists/pumpkins/search.cgi
I would use some key words as "cardboard", "light bulb" . If you used seed germination, you might get allot of replies. If I remember correctly, the old post had
those key words.
Give it a try
