I put one of two plant trays on top of my deep freeze. The top stays warm
and helps germinate the plants. When they start coming up, we leave the
light on 12 hours a day to help the plants. I still have to move them out
on warm days or they will get leggy. Maybe you could also do it on top of
the fridge, or possibly on the floor in front of a door or large window on
the south side of the house, where it will get natural sunshine. I don't
know how your house is set up, but maybe you could come up with something
better.

Hello:

I would like to start some seeds. The only environment I have to do
this in is my basement. My basement gets very little sunlight, it is
humid and it is drafty.

I do have a growing kit from Burpee which includes a flourescent light
and little plastic containers with their special starter soil on the
bottom.


I got the stuff from Burpee last year but then I was too late to start
anything. Now I am on time for seed starting.

Will these enhancements be able to mitigate the lack of available
sunlight or should I not bother trying to do this?

Thank You

Matthew Harelick
