Both companies offer additional seed starting supplies, and a shipment tracking online system. I personally like to use the basic deep-rooting cell trays, and have had very good experience with them in my zone 9 garden. I have spoken with northern gardeners who swear by the dome-type kits. You may find it necessary to experiment with a few diffferent types to see what works best for you.
