I got my cover crop tilled in and will till it again in a few days, weather permitting. This has been the wettest winter we've had in many years. I built my germination chamber out of a styrofoam cooler from a local store. I'm using a seed mat from extreme pumpkin store and I found a thermometer that has a humidity meter with it to keep track of the internal temp. When I started, with the lid closed, it took just a short time and it was almost 100deg. I've been slowly propping the lid open until I could keep a low 80's temp. Now i'm trying to germinate some tomato and pumpkin seeds as a trial run. Hope it works out.
