As Carolyn pointed out about Pill Bugs/Sow Bugs, and as Cole pointed out about heat radiating from Earth, maybe the simplest answer is the easiest.



My solution is to have the benches closer to ground level. Just using one level of block gets the benches about 8 inches up off the ground.

A piece of Frost Cover could easily touch the ground, helping to direct the flow of warmth UP into the flats.

I wouldnt call this a "work bench", as its way to low for my preference.. but for flats or baskets that are already seeded, it seems like a winner.

This is very similar to our setup at the farm. Works for us!
