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.
