Inexpensive Shelving, Lights
I've set up a couple of sets of Lowes/Home Depot type steel shelving units with T5 strip lights linked together, and aluminum foil for reflectors.
First photo shows the overall set-up of one 24" wide, 12" deep unit. In the background is our deck; the ropes are for squirrel and bear proof bird feeders that my tree surgeon hubby rigged up. There are also some orchids under an umbrella.
The second photo shows the underside of the shelf with the lights. There are 3 Sunblaze strip lights which you can link together so you only have to use one cord to plug in. I have them on a timer, along with an ultrasonic humidifier, and this is now where I am very successfully growing Masdies.
The third photo is the drip tray I got from Tindaras.
I'll post more pictures when I get done bringing my chids in and setting it up for the winter.
