heated cables/mat

Post by Greenfingers »

Good day all, Do any of you use any sort of heat under your pots ? ive been thinking of doing this for a while as the root zone is just as important as the canopy.
My cupboard floor is 1.2 x 1.0 and i can cover the floor with 3 inches of kiln dried sand.



your thoughts please.
