Will this fit...

Actually, the Rosemary will likely go into my Bounty Elite...and I won't be "planting" everything at once, but wanted to make sure I get to grow what I wish, since that drop down selection button has disappeared from the AG site. Can't wait to start them up! They won't be "in" the window & I do have an electric shade on the outside of the window that can be dropped, as needed. I don't like curtains and/or drapes, but if more coverings are needed, I'll figure out something.  |

I can't answer your question because I don't have a Farm, but that is one impressive order!

As long as the table is larger then the dimensions of the Farm and the height wont hit the ceiling it should fit.
Sher, I thought you did have a farm |

Shawn, I was going to get a Farm, but opted for the grow tent instead.

As long as it is 36" x 15" it will fit.

Thanks Sher , Shawn and mike ! It is a built-in desk that was designed for two, one to sit on each side. It measure 26" x 60", so they will likely need to go back to back, using the short way...if that makes sense. Height won't be an issue. I placed the order this morning and received confirmation of same: <<Dear Ginny, Thank you for your order. Your order summary is below. We’ll send a separate email with tracking details once your order ships. Please note that your credit card has been authorized, but will not be charged until the time that your order ships. Thank you and happy growing!>> So, now I wait for the Shipping Notice. Last time, I ordered on Sunday, 11/8, it shipped on Friday, 11/13 & arrived on Thursday, 11/19. If it works similarly this time, I should have it about 12/7...but, since there are some holidays in there, that may delay things. Although, I did go for the $10 up-charge for faster shipping, so who knows? Will post pictures of the new/reimagined "office" when available! In the meantime... |

It's actually 36" x 14". The 14" [s because the feet on the sides extend an inch on either side. If you move one over a little, you can get the overall depth to about 27" back to back.

Uh, oh...so right you are! Well, one of them -- or both of them stacked -- may need to go on the floor. There is room on a wall. I just hung a painting there... but there are other walls for paintings in the house. When we were measuring, I was considering options...and it was hubby's idea to go with the 24 Plus...so, must be HIS fault.  Maybe I'll order the stacking system. Both on the floor.  |

I have my XL on the floor. It is a pain bending over to fill and add nutes. I am looking at a dunnage rack, but the ones I was looking at don't suit my needs exactly. I thought I had the perfect one, then I noticed the corner posts extended above the surface of the rack, the Farm wouldn't fit. Shawn, was it you that recommended a dunnage rack? If so, how is yours working out? I have my Farm Plus units side-by-side on a 72" x 24" table. They extend a 1/2" over the edge on either side. It hasn't been a problem. |

mike, I love my dunnage rack. I have this one. I can post a picture if you would like to see it. While I still have to bend to fill or feed, I also have a stool there I can sit on to do it. I also use the same stool to fill the basic on top of my XL.

After sleeping on it, or maybe that should be thinking on it when I should be sleeping, I think I'll ask hubby (Mikey) to give it some thought too. I think it may be possible to "strap" a slightly larger piece of plywood or something to the desktop without losing access to the drawers and cabinet doors. It might not be too pretty, but it wouldn't be permanent either. And I know my knees would be happier. Plus, it is just nice having all of them up higher. May need to get a taller step stool as I do stand on that desk to gain access to the cookbooks on the top shelves.  Thanks for the input!!! |

As I said I have mine on a dunnage rack that is 8" tall. The XL is on that while the basic is on the XL.
I can get a picture if you would like to see how that looks against a wall.

That would be great! Please post a picture. Right now, I have a butterfly (AKA: gateleg) table, under the picture on that wall. But the table is on wheels, so easy to place elsewhere. Maybe not so usable elsewhere, but moveable. Thanks! |

Here are 4 pictures with the explanation of what is in it.
This is the Xl with the Basic on top. The XL is sitting on an 8" high dunnage rack. Notice the junk under it 
Next Up is the same picture but I have some command velcro strips with a black board covering the junk.
Third, I have some magnetic curtain rods with some blackout curtains that I use at night to block the bright lights. These can be removed easily if needed. The curtains when fully down (they are currently flipped over just to cover the lights as my mom is here and she says they bother her   ) are the length of the actual unit so they fit perfectly. I made some adjustments so they do not look sloppy. I also have a short gate so Piper does not bother them. She actually doesn't so I may remove that.
Last, Using command velcro strips, I have some black boards on the sides. It covers the side of the unit to the wall. This helps keep all that extra light from filtering out. Yes some is still seeping thru but not like it was. It doesn't look bad in person. The pics do it no justice (as with the picture above)

I can show a picture with the curtains down if needed. Thanks so much! The pictures help big time. Here's the other spot I've got (below). Turns out, one unit would fit on top of the butterfly table, but then the table couldn't be moved. Not sure how I feel about that. If I move the table out, maybe raise the painting, things should work. I do keep the doors to the office closed, so the AG's aren't in danger from episodes of Corgi frapping...LOL.  With regard to removing the gate...years ago, back in California, we had a sneaky old mixed breed doggie. We had 3 backyards (part of the reason we could grow so many things), and he could jump the 6-foot fence in between them. He would go for a swim and then go and check the 3rd yard to see what fruits and veggies were to his liking. He got tomatoes in their prime and he took avocados that we not even close to ready. Sigh. Funny boy. Anyway, make sure that Piper isn't a fruit thief? |

Thank you again, Shawn, I went ahead and ordered the dunnage rack. It just so happens that I needed to order a new rug for MIL and that is the same place as the rack, so I ordered both today. She uses one of those restaurant type rugs on the ramp at the front door. It looks better than the plain ramp and keeps things from being too slippery in the rain. So, I figured, might as well! Mikey (hubby) thinks that having them on the floor is a better idea anyway. I think it will look better and still let me use that desk as my usual dumping ground...that I clean up a few times a year...and then I get rushed and stuff piles up again. It is a vicious circle.  |
