Shelving

[Connie Star]

Hi Maria,
I like that set up. But living in the dark-in-winter Northeast, I would have to put lights under each shelf for the plants below. Is the space between the posts big enough to accommodate 4' lights? Often they say "48" but that's the outside dimension. I suppose I will just have to take a tape measure with me to shop.

Connie-

Hi, I really don't know the answer to your question. I'd advise you to take a measuring tape.

Speaking of which, I had to take a measuring tape with me to measure some pots that I saw down in Homestead. (they are clay bulb pans and they were dirt cheap!!) The first time I bought from that place, I could have sworn it was a 6 inch pot but when I got home it was more like a 10 inch pot. I have VERY bad spatial perception.

I was out there in the heat measuring clay pots. Gosh, I'm such the orchid geek!

Whether it is or not- I am zooming over to lowes tomorrow!!!!!!! Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

do you think just two on each would cut it?

I think that most people, who use a similar set-up, only use two sets of shop lights.
