I bought 5 or 6 of those also. I haven’t had the opportunity to use them yet. Do you use them inside or outside? I have never gardened before (except for weeding the family garden when I was a teenager! lol) and am a little intimidated even by this. I don’t have the green thumb in the family. If I use them inside, do I need to buy a special lighting fixture to help the plants along? I am in WA state right now, but am moving back to Florida next fall, God willing, and hope to find a place with at least a patio or some such.
Well, I never thought of using them inside, but I guess you could, depending on what you plan to grow, and how much room you have. You would probably need more than one special light for them. Just don’t plan on growing tomatoes inside, unless you have a VERY high ceiling.
You could try patio tomatoes, though. I planted one last year. It doesn’t get very tall, but had lots of really good tomatoes. I just planted it in a large flowerpot, and also some jalapeno and cayenne peppers, and they all did very well. I had far more peppers than I knew what to do with!
