. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/7qjblty . .For me, the indoor gardening inspiration struck in October when the rabbits got my lettuce again. So, I said 'I'll fix the rabbits and go to the basement,'?" Mr. Adelphia said.
.That really made me chuckle. All gardeners have been in his boots, going to great lengths to defeat those nibbling little critters. Mr. Adelphia admits that he went a bit overboard at first, but for a cost of less than $20, his system is paying off. "I took some potting soil and two shop lighting fixtures. I used one cool white and one warm white light bulb," he said. He mixed the two bulbs because this has almost the same lighting color spectrum as a grow light and adds no green tinge to his man cave.
."To hang the lights, I used hook screws in the ceiling and wire between the metal holding the ceiling tile up. I used extra chain and the chains that came with the shop lights. By hooking one chain to the ceiling and one to each end of the fixture, I can raise and lower the lights over the plants," he explained.
. Magic combination .Mr. Adelphia picked up seeds from a variety of sources such as catalogs and local garden centers. He recommends using lettuce varieties that mature in 45 days.
.And for the magic combination to grow lush greens without the sun: "I used Jiff's plastic greenhouse system cups and direct sow-in container. The pellets are about one and half inch by three quarters inch when wet and because you have this small enclosed environment they grow better," he said.
