| Hi again! :) I've read that it's a good idea to keep the bottom of the seed trays warm. How does one do that? I imagine some kind of reptile heater - but what kind and where do I get them from. Is it expensive to warm a lot of seed trays? Also - how long should the heat be left on for? - all night/all day. For how many weeks - the whole time they're inside or just until they're a certain size? Thanks so much!! |

| Hi Carol! You can buy heat mats for seed starting trays. They are rather pricey though and I'm not sure how expensive they are to run all the time. Usually anything with a heating element in it draws quite a bit of power. It will probably help speed up germination but I don't think it's really necessary. Look in seed catalogs and local nurseries for them if you're interested. |

| Thanks Seil! If it's not necessary, then I'm not doing it! :) Much obliged. Carol |
