Question about placement of boxes and trellis
Comments (12)Ok, I had thought to run it lengthwise along my bed, but wouldn't I be needing it to be a bit taller? Like twice as tall as it would be? I am using an old greenhouse frame that no longer has plastic, to lay the vinyl netting on and build boxes under it to plant stuff around it also. I have a lot of vining stuff that I want to plant:) I may do the long box, if I can figure out a way to get the panels high enough. I guess I could do two stacked on top of each other and use some of the conduit instead of t-posts. The conduit would be able to be taller. I checked out the price and it is 1.88 per section. I thought it was higher. But I am already buying 50 ft. of the vinyl netting for the old greenhouse frame, I am trying to cut down on the costs of the other trellises. Thanks for all your help everyone. Thanks paully1 for explaining the cattle panels better than I could:) Tracy...See MoreQuestions about Growing Under Lights?
Comments (4)thepodpiper your design is similar to many I have seen. My design is different in two different aspects. Then most. 1. In my setup you do not raise and lower the lights. 2. In my design each flat sits on a separate shelf that can be raised and lower in relation to the lights....See MoreQuestions about Dutchman's pipe vine placement
Comments (7)Hi argus, I'll have to look up what I bought, but it was the usual Dutchman's pipevine that's sold here in the midwest. Thanks for the info. My problem is right now, I just don't have vertical space. Our house needs painted, so I don't want to do it against the house. Our fence around the yard is only 4' tall. And I'm always adding onto the chicken coop. I guess I'm going to have to think about buying a trellis in the spring......or grow it up a large tree. Thanks again....See MoreQuestion about using a timer with grow lights
Comments (4)It's been quite a long time since I've used one of those. The override is for when, for whatever temporary reason, you need to turn the power leaving the timer on or off. I don't remember how you set the override, I just suggest you do what I used to lol... just test it. It can be a pain, because those clips are so inaccurate, but hey, for lights, they're fine. The good thing about that type is that it's pretty much break-proof. It's just a wheel that turns. Can't get much more low-tech than that! Some were real fancy... they had 4 clips instead of the basic 2-clip model....See Morezen_man
