Looks like tose guys at the hydroponic store didn't know what they were talking about. The soil heating cables I got were not really meant for outdoor use. I had to phone around until I got a rep in Indiana who told me not to use them outside--so back they went (Sentinel brand). I have a 36 footer on order now from another nursery--for outdoor use--heavy duty. I have to get them sent UPS so they will be here in time--extra $20--all told it was $93.00! I will pick them up on Friday and start setting them up. I think I got ripped off, but time is running out, and I have to prepare my greeenhouse. I tilled the patch again and added a little 18-18-18 so it will dissolve prior to planting and help rot the existing materials--although, I still don't have any seeds sprouted yet. Have to remember to be patient here--seeds were only put in the soil on Sunday and Monday. Besides not having a sprouted seed, I am way better prepared and equipped than last year.
