Heat Mats are my favourite piece of gardening equipment, they take your growing to a new level and cut down seed germination time, perfect for the impatient gardener.

Seedlings don’t stay on heat mats once germinated so you don’t need lots of space, a small unit will be enough for most home gardeners.

In the greenhouse if you are lucky enough to have electric they create a frost free environment saving the need to take tender seedling inside during late frosts.
