Grow light???
Any ideas on a good inexpensive grow light?? We brought all our potted
tropicals in our garage the other night so they would not freeze. One plant(palm) is about 8 ft tall and about 300 pounds. It is not easy to keep bringing all this in and out of the garage so any ideas ?? I would love to get some type of grow light and keep all these plants in until spring. |

Go to Wal-Mart and get one of their cheap florescent lights for about $12. 8^)~~~ Sue (remove the x to e-mail) ~~~~~~ "I reserve the absolute right to be smarter today than I was yesterday." -Adlai Stevenson ************************************************* http://www.suzanne-eckhardt.com/ http://www.intergnat.com/malebashing/ |

Hi Shellie,
Just be sure to get a flourescent that has the right spectrum for growing plants (usually a warmer frequency type). I bought my last set at Menards, but I'm sure they are available widely. I used a simple shop type flourescent fixture. Sherwin Dubren Shellie Cahill wrote: Any ideas on a good inexpensive grow light??

The 4 foot flourescent ones. It's all you need. |

There are always time zones, which is why you can reply to me 5 or so hours before I ask a question. But If everyone would set their computers to GMT ( http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/home.htm )which we all know is the only true time then there would be no problems like this. -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

Since you are in the same time zone as I am, there shouldn't be any
difference in the time of the replies. You should check your clock settings. Phillip Sherman wrote in message ...
