I planted some eggplant seeds a few weeks ago and i only have a few that sprouted i'm trying to plant more seeds, would you recommend any method to speed the germination process a little?

Thanks Steve!!
that was very helpful !! , i'm thinking about putting the pots in an incubator since it does get warm it there, wonder if it will work,
I might try it.

I made a flat box out of plywood, put aluminum foil on the bottom inside surface of the box, and put a heating pad in the box. The container with planting mix and seeds went on top. With the heating pad on low, I got temperatures in the planting mix in the upper 70's. It made a big difference in the germination of the tomatoes.
