Re: Grow-lights...

Many folks have noted how difficult it is to juggle different sized 
plants and mentioned numerous items (eg telephone books, shoe boxes, 
etc) to vary plant height.  I have been using pieces of rigid 
insulation (I found it by the side of the road).  It is light, strong 
enough to support plants, does not absorb water and easy to cut to 
size.  It has worked very well this year;  I have not yet moved any of 
my lights.

Speaking of lights, if you use a shop light, it is a good idea to put 
something on top to reflect light down.  You wouldnt need to do this 
if you are using white metal shelves, but if it is just hanging from 
the ceiling, it might be a good idea to make up a relector to put on 
top ( A piece of 2x4 plywood painted white would work.  For that 
matter, some heavy posterboard would also work well.)
