What seeds is it you want to start Snadger. I've never used a propagator for anything. I find indoors is enough (and some special techniques). I've got some peppers on their way (early I know but long story) Will try to post pics topmorrow if time available. I always have my seedlings potted up by March and then just have to put the heating on in the greenhouse and get them out for space reasons. The house is like a hippie commune by that time.
If you tell me what you want to germinate I'll see if I can suggest anything short of a propagator.
