These metal racks we found at Menards are inexpensive, durable, and easy to set up and take down. Any shelves that are not needed for seedlings can be used to store all of your other supplies.
Four seed starting trays from Bootstrap Farmer can fit vertically on one shelf. This gives you plenty of space to start as many plants as you need.
Grow Lights
The right lights can make all the difference when starting seeds at home. We have found these Monios LED grow lights to be easy to use and set up. They are lightweight and easy to adjust to the right height and position with the hardware that comes with them.
These lights can also be used when growing microgreens, so they are a great investment for all of your gardening goals.
