Survival Gardening–This Germination Station Will Give Your Plants a Head Start

It’s time to plant seeds indoors to give your survival gardening a head start. Maybe you’ve planted seeds already. Warm weather crops like tomatoes and peppers need to be planted 6-8 weeks before your last frost date.

When you start your own seedlings, you get to grow the varieties you want. You don’t have to be limited to what your nearest garden center offers.

Sometimes though growing plants from seeds can be a tricky business. What you need is a way to insure they’ll germinate and grow successfully under the right conditions.

The Hydrofarm CK64050 Germination Station with Heat Mat will give your seedlings that needed jump start. It’s this week’s DestinySurvival Amazon Pick of the Week with a rating of 4.0 out of 5 stars on Amazon.

The germination station has electric heat, humidity control and 72-cell seedling inserts. Use the potting soil or growing medium of your choice. You can start a lot of seedlings in a controlled atmosphere, and your plants will germinate faster.

Plants get the warmth they need with a 17 watt, UL listed, waterproof heat mat that’s sized just right. With dual vent points in the dome for air flow, you can give your plants optimum seed starting conditions.

The unit measures 22 x 11 x 4 inches, so it doesn’t take up much space. Before you know it, your plants will be bumping their heads against the 2 inch dome, eager to get out of their mini greenhouseand grow in your survival garden.

The Hydrofarm germination station also comes with seed starting booster and instructions with growing tips.

I’ve used a mini greenhouse similar to this before to start plants, but it didn’t have a ready-made heat mat. That’s a real plus for the germination station.

To order your Hydrofarm CK64050 Germination Station with Heat Mat, click on its image below. You’ll be taken to the Amazon.com page where it’s featured. Add it to your cart to start the ordering process.

Don’t wait. Gardening season is upon us, and this could be the year you need what you can grow in your survival garden more than ever. Why not give your plants a boost with the germination station?

Using bottom heat really helps seeds germinate and baby plants grow. An advantage of this unit is you can start seeds in cooler areas such as a garage or basement and the mat will provide the heat they need.
