If you have ever grown from seed without a mat before, you are going to frigging love the difference it makes.
Yes this is my first time with a mat.  I've started seeds inside for the last 2 years with no mat and a small 18 inch light I got from the hardware store.  I had about 40-50% germination rate, probably due to our house being about 70-72 during later winter/early spring.  Im hoping the mat will help out.

Cool, keep an eye out. Bunch of us get together for Zestfest in January. Someone will post a note where we are meeting for lunch. Good times! You'll have a blast.

For saving money on equipment, have discovered they only need the extra heat to germinate.  Then you can move the tray and start another one germinating on the mat.
