Subject: Re: [GWL] Query about 'indoor grow rooms'

Denise,
I work at a garden center where we've recently added such rooms to the inventory. We sell all the stuff - fans, lights, reflecting panels etc, plus a bunch of growing supplies. Although we've promoted these for home food growing there isn't much interest...the reality is that in the space of one of these quite expensive "grow rooms" you couldn't raise much more than two weeks worth of salad for a family of four. We've got it set up with assorted herbs and all, but even our "foodie" customers don't find it worth the expense. The main customers who buy or express interest in this line are young men. When they ask me questions about taking cuttings or postioning the lights I always ask, "What are you growing?" and they usually say "I'm helping my mom raise her petunias." Sometimes they say geraniums or tomatoes. It's touching to see how many young people are helping their mothers grow things these days...
;-)


all the best,
C.L.
