Propogation heating mats?

[thepodpiper]

build a 2x4 frame that is 4 foot by 8 foot and lay down that waterbed heater and 3 layers of thick poly then fill it with water .
then lay down 3 more layers of poly.
you now have a place to heat up 16 big plug trays and controll the temp .
it is safe and easy

Yes it would, but who needs to germinate that many seeds?

I have 40 plug trays full right now and another 60 ready to plant.
I run a comercial greenhouse so I need more than that to get up and running .
the nice thing about a water table is that you can make it as big or small as you need and the waterbed heater is alot cheaper to buy than seperate mats and the power needs are small .
