Seed Starting Supplies and Equipment Having quality, reliable seed-starting equipment is a great way to ensure your seed starting success. Growers often consider trays, lighting, shelves, heat mats, and media when budgeting for growing supplies every garden season. Instead of buying single-use plastics that have to be replaced every year, we recommend growing in trays and containers that will last you multiple seasons. Why start seeds indoors? Starting seeds indoors helps give the grower a head start on the season. Getting this head start is especially helpful in areas with a shorter growing season. Many varieties also have a higher success rate when started indoors versus direct seeded outdoors. Another advantage to starting your own seeds is the increase in varieties available to a grower starting by seed versus having only the selection available at a plant nursery. Finally, starting your plants from seed enables you to have complete control over the inputs used to raise them. Starting the plants yourself is the best way to ensure that your starts have been started with high-quality seeds and soil and have been grown in the way you prefer.
