Heating Pads
Hiyas all,
I live in NZ, and am looking for some help locating where I could buy a cheap, small heating pad for seed germination. Any clues? -- Anna Merchant http://www.thecotfactory.co.nz If electricity comes from electrons, does that mean that morality comes from morons? |

Not so sure about NZ itself, but Greenpatch in Australia sell them and I'm pretty sure they ship to NZ. www.greenpatchseeds.com.au/ In NZ itself, have you tried Kings Seeds? They may have goodies such as that. Tara |

Hi. If you dont find one, set your tray of seeds in top of your
refrigerator or freezer. Check it every couple of days to keep up with their progress. After they start coming up, take them down and put them in some good light.

Thanks for those suggestions!
I am trying to propagate banana seeds, and everywhere I read says it has to be a constant ~20C for them to be a happening thing. Plus the heat will help over the winter -- Anna Merchant http://www.thecotfactory.co.nz If electricity comes from electrons, does that mean that morality comes from morons?

Heating Pads
Hi Anna
Last year I was having trouble germinating chilli seeds so I used a heat pad purchased from a home brew shop and rigged it up to a thermostat from an old water bed. It worked like a charm. I would suggest that a suitable thermostat would be available commercially that you can just plug in from an electronics supplier. An old aluminium fridge tray was used with dividers and filled with seed raising mix. An acrylic (Perspex) top was put on top and the thermostat bulb placed inside. I just used a mist spray every few days to keep it moist. Graeme "Anna Merchant" wrote in message ... Thanks for those suggestions!
