Finally arranged a place with the requisite light and heat to start those great Brug seeds.Space being at a premium,it seemed reasonable to put them in the south facing window,but not to the point of obstructing the available light. The wire closet shelving from Lowe's home improvement store at $11.00 for a 12 foot length was just right.It gave 2 five foot long sections and a left-over.Mounting was simple,about $8.00 for shelf standards and tabs and it was done.The wire lays right on top of the tabs and is rigid enough for seed trays,though it deflects a little in the center with a heavier loading.Supplemental lighting can hang from the overhead shelf,and a piece of metal conduit can support the top light fixture.
