My shelves are always in my teeny, tiny dining room, so heated room but no heat mats. We use Eliott Coleman's recipe for making the soil blocks. Works really well but it takes practice. I have the four block maker, a five block maker and the tiny 20 block maker. My son also got the huge single one but I don't see the need for it and it is so heavy!
The lights are not turned on yet. Don't need them until after they germinate.
Next I will sow some seeds using the vermiculite method. Super easy instructions from member JonnaSudenis.

My containers are ready. After we get back from checking things on the farm i will sow some flowers and misc.
