Htop, to germinate seed (of all kinds) I got an old refrigerator, took out the door light switch, and wired in a thermostat to control a 100 watt light blub for heat. It also has a 4 ft. grow light in it that will stay on all the time if I want. For peppers I set the thermostat to hold the temperature at 80 - 90 degrees, for tomatoes 70 - 80 degrees. It will hold four 1020 flats in which I put 1201 inserts and could start as many as 12,000 (tomato or pepper) seed at one time for later pluging into other inserts such as 1206's, 809's, 1204's, 806's, ect.

We keep it just outside of the greenhouse, on the creek side so no one will see it and where it is not in the way, but easy to get to, We have used it for several years, it is not pretty, but it works just fine.

Have A Great Day
