Agritape precise heat mats are season extenders designed for the small commercial grower and the home gardener.
This heat mat reaches higher temperatures than a standard heat mat allowing you to germinate seeds in cool areas and achieve warmer soil temperatures.
A durable economical alternative to more expensive models.

It creates an extremely uniform precise temperature over the entire surface of the heating mat.
It is a flexible and easy to use system that can be rolled up and easily stored when not in use.

I personally like the flexibility and control of the thermostat.
