Growing Stand

With winter still upon us, we have decided to grow indoors for the time being.  The plans from Fine Gardening inspired us to construct this growing stand.  Materials and light fixtures total about $400.  While the original design holds 15 flats, we shortened the width to just twelve to fit in the room.  It has three 48-inch T-5 four-bulb light fixtures from Apollo Horticulture.  Admittedly some of the lumber was a bit warped, probably from frequent temperature changes, but it is reasonably stable with weight on it.
