> I never thought of aluminum foil, great idea!

Just a warning, I wouldn't recommend using foil. It's actually not all that reflective and the more reflective side can burn the plants (worse cause fires!!) because it can cause hot spots. Much better to go with the Mylar or something like it.

I'm glad you found the threads useful. I sure did. I think you're well ahead of me having the seedlings in hand an soil, etc. I'm still waiting on all the seeds I traded on to show up. So much to do, and then the long wait...
