I use heat mats for both seedlings and to get my plants through
the winter. When you are ready to buy make sure you check around. I
just bought some for seedlings, the 9”x20” or somewhere in that
vicinity. Cost per with shipping and handling can go as high as
$45. I got mine with both s&h for $30 a piece. I also use heat
cables but I don’t find they are very effective unless they are right in
the soil. “How many at once?” I have 5 of the 4ft ones layed
along my benchs on one side of my greenhouse. “along the length or
width?” I like to try to use as much of the mat surface as I
can. The ones for seedling flats are meant to be the the size of a flat
thus it fits to cover the whole mat. I have used the temp.
regulators but have found that you don’t really need them. Some
people might say that they use a lot of electricity but (I’m sure someone
will correct this if it is wrong) I believe they run on 40 Watts Hope this helps Mike Jordan ContinuousHarvest.com From: market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org
[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of pech Hi Ya, anybody have any advice on heat mats? I remember a
discussion about them years ago, but my mind is slipping and now I want to get
some. How many do you use at once? do you lay the flats across the
mat or along the length? any better/poor brands? I'm a 60 member (I hope) CSA and don't know if I can
start all I need using heat mats... Oh yeah, How do you search the archives? Thanks Have Fun dave z6a |
