Starting seeds certainly seems like it should be simple: chuck some seeds into soil, park them near a window, and wait for your new green friends to join the party, right? Sadly, that's not the case. It's definitely doable, but you'll need a bit of setup to be successful. There are a whole host of reasons to really consider whether you’re ready get into seed starting in the first place, but if you decide you’re ready, you'll need the right gear to ensure you have enough heat, moisture, light, and space.
