The rack is just the normal closet hardware from Lowe's, or Home Depot.
This allows us to change the spacing of the shelves and lights as plants grow.
One thing we did different this year...
Is I had some Styrofoam laying around to be thrown away. We use heat mats and thought it may be a good idea to put the heat mats on them to help the heat loss. So, I had to check the melting point of Styrofoam, but it is very high. We think it does make a difference, as the cooler air does not circulate under the heat map stealing the heat from the mats.
This year I am growing Microgreens for us. Maybe could be a commercial thing one day, ya never know.
Rose has her seeds sprouting on the bottom racks and the top racks are for the Microgreens.
So far it has been a great success.
We have had Salad Mix, Radish, Sunflower Seeds, Pea Shoots, and Beets.
On the bottom racks are the vegetables, tomatoes, peppers, etc... that will get transplanted outside at some point.
Just in front of the rack you can see a limb of one of our fruit trees. They have their own lights. We wintered them in the garage and they did very well.
