Hi All,
This subject seems to come up again as we get a few new members to the
list. FWIW I have been using for a few years an old Chilly-bin (NZ) Esky
(OZ) cooler (US). In plain English a polystyrene bin:-) I mounted a bulb
holder with a 15w bulb(Oven light) this keeps steady temperature of around
85'F which germinates seeds of most plants.
I plant the seeds in seed mix and place the seed container in a tray cover
with brown paper and a sheet of glass until the seed germinate. A soon as
the seedlings are big enough move into the hot water cupboard under a
florescent light. Until big enough to harden off for planting.
