Re: mini propagator

For small pots why not use the plastic containers that many grocery stores
sell pre-cooked chickens in?  The lid is clear and the bottom is black,
which would seem to be a good way to draw heat to the inside of the
container.  Punch a few holes for ventiliation or leave the top sitting
loose.
