I have 6 gardens and love growing all kinds of vegetables. I have had trouble in the past with leggy plants and sometimes damping off when growing from seed. I found this website about heated tables http://doorgarden.com/02/home-made-bottom-heat-seed-starting
I built a similar table 2ft by 8ft but with 6 inch spaces between rows of lights. It did an unbelievable job of starting seeds fast and with long roots and strong stems...I had an old table and the insulation so only the drywall and rope lights were out of pocket expenses...I will use this table every year because the seeds just pop out of the starter mix...the temperature on my table surface is 77 to 80F in my basement where the air temp is about 60F.
