Dave, I typically use ¾” soil blocks set on 1 s/ft ($1)
ceramic floor tiles over a 5’x9’ plastic sheet over a 4’x8’
sheet of plywood on saw horses. At one end of the table I have two 11”x44”
heat mats under the plastic sheet. This allows me to have 8 tiles at 220 starts
each for a total of 1760 starts at a time. They are typically on the mats for a
very short time before they are potted-on and removed from the mats. This is
when you start really needing space off the mats. Equinox (brand) controller
controls the temp (same temp) for all mats. I like to lay a piece of plastic
wrap over the starts for moisture and heat purposes. Farmer Breck Breck Carden Carden’s Garden From:

[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 |
