<< Last spring someone mentioned they used a used
 water bed heater for starting seeds.
 
 Where did you put the probe aka temp sensor? >>

I don't remember if I made the original post, but I also use an old water bed 
heater.  I use a seed starter kit with a plastic tray, cell packs for 
planting the seeds  and a clear cover.  I just put the probe at the bottom of 
the tray between the cell pack cells  in the center and put on the cover as 
best as I can with the probe wire running under it.  If you're using 
individual pots or cell packs, try putting it under whatever container you 
use.  You may need to use something else as a spacer under the container to 
keep it level.  

You also might check to make sure the temperature setting on the heater is 
reasonably accurate.

Rick
