Title: Message
I'm in need of
purchasing a large propagation mat to provide bottom heat for cuttings as well
as seedlings. I already have a large one (probably 2.5 ft x 7
ft) that I bought a number of years ago from a commercial greenhouse supply
and it works great. To the best of my memory, it cost over $100, but it's
been well worth it and has proved to be very durable (I have it on a bench,
covered with black polyethylene film and I simply set the containers of cuttings
or flats of seedlings on it. I'd like to buy another of similar size
but am finding it difficult to find one. Does anyone have a favorite
source of such mats? -- Sam Brungardt, St. Paul, Minn.
