Those are nifty looking-and what a good idea! I used bags like that one spring-but outdoors & minus the bins for some salad greens just as an experiment to see which brand was the best.

My green house temp was up to 110 degrees today even with the door wide open. It’s still too hot to do much.

The nights are unusually cooler than normal, but when the sun shines, very warm inside.

I received a grow light today that I plan on using for the lemon tree inside the house by the patio door to add some sun to the natural light and add a few hours of sun daily. It has 3 bendable goose neck type lights and clips on my table. The grow light stand isn’t tall enough for the my lemon tree.

I am curious about your shelves are they metal? Where did you get them?

“I am curious about your shelves are they metal? Where did you get them?”

They’re awesome, aren’t they? Yes, they are metal - stainless steel; very strong but light - I can move them around as needed.

Beau was in Construction for - FOREVER. He scrounged anything and everything he could (legally & with permission) from job sites.

He helped build a lot of Water Treatment Plants through the years, and the shelving is the grates they used as the catwalks above the big old human waste digester units. (Ick!)

He cut them to size and I had lovely shelving that water would flow through.

However - don’t DROP anything - like a seed packet or the cap of a fertilizer bottle, because they’re gone forever, LOL!

P.S. The shelves sit on cinder blocks. The layout works well for me for now, but can be expanded UPWARD in the future if needed. I can add another layer of bricks and shelving.
