I was listening to one of the older lottie gentlemen yesterday and he got me very interested in the propagator he built. A simple box of wood then a perspex top with a 40 watt bulb to do the heating, he said a cheap and old thermostat set around 61-65 degrees. Anyone with schetch of such a thing or any other idea.
                           very interested jock

I'm thinking of doing the hot box with the straw bales with manure and soil on top and a piece of glass over it.  thinking is as far as I've got at the mo  ;D

Wilkos do seedtray sized heated propagators for around £15, but they don't have thermostats. I've found you can stop seedlings overheating by sticking in an extra seed tray between the propagator and the tray with seeds in.

wardy:
I got two!  You can leave the lid off to cool things down a bit, and lots of plants appreciate a bit of bottom heat to start them off.  I wouldn't be without them as I don't have an airing cupboard  :)
