I've had one for years Mark and use it every early Spring for bringing on
seeds early before hardening off. I wouldn't be without it.

It has a dual use as during the Winter I line it with a comfy cushion and
my
cats sleep in it in an outside building, it keeps them warm and cosy ;-)



I haven't got a cat so perhaps I need to get one to maximise the benefit of
a propagator.

My next question is any tips on buying one. Seems to be a lot of choice out
there.
Or is getting a soil warming cable and a homemade tray a better option?
