Seed Germination using an Incubator

[dogginfox]

I have several types of pepper seeds that I have planted in a Cracker Barrel Take home containter (Black Plastic bottom with a clear lid) I poked several drain holes in the bottom and put the whole thing in a spare LG incubator to boost the temp and aid in Germination. I thought i might pass this along for others like myself without room for a greenhouse or little germination trays all around the kitchen.

Sounds like a good idea to get hot plants going. Don't think it will work with cold season stuff though, since I think some varieties won't even sprout if it's over 75 or so. Do you leave the bator on at 100?

For those without an incubator an eletric skillet can be set at 100 degrees too!
