Not quite, but there are other similar products out there now. Much better options now than before.

I love the way it looks, just do not like bitters. I am glad you are getting a lot of harvests from it. mike , as for lighting maybe make a movable rack. Something like a clothes rack? My dad made one YEARS ago using pipes and fittings. You can move it around while hanging the lights from it. Something like this (with or without wheels) and you can make it what ever height you want.
Sher , I hijacked my own thread  |

Would one work for the lights over the totes?

The only problem is the lower pipe. Right now they sit on a Rubbermaid cart, in recent applications. If I were to use a small table with just legs it could work.

I reluctantly terminated my bok choy last night because roots were plugging two of the holes, and I needed to see what else was going on inside the deck.
It wasn't nearly as bad as I feared.

Interesting that there was so much root growth inside the deck, Sher. Your harvest looks fabulous--too bad you had to terminate.  |

lynnee , I got a lot more than it appears. Every two or three days I would pick leaves to graze on. That is one of my very favorite crops to grow.

Try turning the plants every few days it help control the roots. Also if you can remove the plants and place them on a plate then take the deck apart and clean it and put the plants back in when you're done.

I usually forget to turn the plants, but am finally remembering on my Mocha Swirl and my veggie nursery. I am working on trying to make it a habit. I don't understand why I have so much trouble remembering such an important thing! I wish I had thought of cleaning the deck and also trying to save the bok choy. I miss it! |
