Trying this out today! I am nervous about the temps and don't want to lose my seedlings. I have begun to prepare another batch, but I came up with this idea while I was going through my hunting room looking for something. I came across some of those hand warmer packs I use while ice fishing. As you can see in the pic it is a very simple concept. Simply take an empty coffee can and cut the bottom off. Stretch some clear plastic wrap over the top and secure with 2 rubberbands. Cut a few slits in the plastic so your plant can breathe, but the heat stays in longer. Take two of the handwarmer packs and open them up. Put the wrapping underneath so the heat reflects up a little and the moist soil does not cool it down. simply place them on the ground next to the seeding and cover with the "CAN-COCTION" I will let you all know if it works. The handwarmers come six in a pack and are like 2 or 3 dollars @ walmart! If anyone tries this also, let me know how you make out! [email protected]. If you e-mail, put Pumpkin somewhere in the subject or I will probably delete it without reading!!
