Seed Starting Heat Mat

This heat mat is added to the bottom of a cooler to help regulate the temperature while in the basement to avoid quick temperature changes. The insulation of the cooler helps the digital thermometer keep the temperature consistent which is important during the germination process.

There are two blocks of aluminum placed on the heat mat to allow the tray that will contain the seeds to not be sitting directly on the heat mat. This small (about one inch) gap of air helps avoid direct contact to the mat so that there is no chance of the seeds sitting on a hot or cold spot.
