Another possibility for germination is a 'small electric
greenhouse' - I have two. (I bought mine at Burpee. You
can see them by going to http://www.burpee.com and putting
91926 in the search box.)
These have 14" x 17" floorspace and each will hold eight
6-cell packs (stacked in two layers). They are a little
flimsy, but can easily be reinforced with duct tape at the
seams and then are sturdy enough to last a long time.
I've been very happy with them. I've started a variety of
vegetable seeds in them and everything seems to germinate
very, very quickly. I haven't started flower seeds but will
be soon.
These don't keep a high enough temperature for tempeh or
yogurt though - I put a thermometer in one to check on this.
