I have tried to start plants from seeds in the past, but always failed. I would like to have a setup in my basement for starting plants. I really don't know how to go about it. What kind of lights do I need and where can I buy them? What about a fluorescent shop light that hangs over a shelf where the starter containers sit? Is there such a thing as growth florescent light tubes for starting plants? I would also like to know when to start plants from seed such as tomatoes, cabbage and broccoli etc... I can't find any books on this for a beginner to use. Also, what about using basement window wells for cold frames? Thank you all very much for your opinions.
