Late posting in last week’s thread. My seed starting supplies and methods research. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4035665/posts?page=68#68
Based me and my situation with a small and slightly drafty place heated with wood only and me wanting standardized equipment due to having a dream of doing a little market gardening one day. Works out to $200 for 4 sq ft of seed starting area but half of that is the heating mats and temp controllers for them which most people probably wouldn’t need. Heat mats without using a controller, keep the trays 10-20 degrees above ambient/room temperature. Mats are $20 and controller is $36.
Diana and I has a little back and forth in subsequent posts and she has a much cheaper way. Jiffy Pellets and whatever trays she has scrounged. Not sure if she uses grow lights or heat.

I don’t use any heat, but I do use grow lights, which I keep ON 24/7 for the heat until the plants germinate. Then, it’s domes off and 16 on, 8 off for lights. I have a grow light rack that I bought when I worked for Jung’s. One bank of lights was missing, so I got it at a deep discount. Three shelves still, so it’s perfect for starting my tomatoes and peppers inside in March. I use the bottom shelf for storage, and right now it’s a HUGE MESS! ;)
