I'm pretty sure we had one of those once upon a time but these days we're running full haphazard style. That means that our seeds get started in flats that once held annuals filled with potting soil. We achieve our greenhouse cover with plastic shopping bags. The seedlings will hang out in our living room until the weather turns and they move out to the actual greenhouse (maybe we'll take a tour on moving day...). Our set up isn't very pretty but it works.
