Here (in this and the following couple of my diary entries) is a brief explanation of a simple incubator I had made 3 years ago, I´m pretty happy with the way it works and want to share this suggestion with those growers who might be interested in trying something similar. No, I´m not going to detail all the dimensions of the things I´ve used, everyone will have different things available and they need to find their own way of creating something like that.
What we need (what I have used actually): a cardboard box (corrugated cardboard, for good stability and moderate insulation), some zip-lock plastic bags of sufficient size, sand, water, a silicone-coated heating cable (I´m using an 80 W cable), a timer (I´m using a rather simple timer with half hour increments of on/off switches), a thermometer.
