Experiment time!
I love experimenting with growing new things. My husband calls them death experiments as when I first started experimenting everything seemed to die :). But I was determined enough to learn through my mistakes (and to utilize my daddy’s gardening knowledge) and have been pretty successful in my last few gardening seasons.
Every year I start my seeds indoors under a fluorescent grow light. I’ve had great success using this traditional seed starting method but this year as I pulled out my light to dust off and get ready for the season I did some math. Turns out I am spending quite a bit each season on electricity just to power up my fluorescent light! I started doing some research online and came across this TaoTronics® E27 12W Led Grow Light. And after doing the math on the LED grow light it turns out I’ll be spending less than $0.03 a day on electricity! Even when I’m running the light for 16 hours at a time!
In this video series I’ll be growing Lavewa baby spinach and Easter Egg radishes. I’ll be sure to check in every week with a short video showing the progress as well as giving the details as to what I did to the plants in the week.
