In this episode, I show you how to build the shelves for your indoor garden. Mine are up off the floor about 14 inches, which ensure my seedlings get as much direct sunlight as possible. This is a power tool moment, but don’t worry. It’s easy. I’ll show you how.

Getting my garden started on the right foot makes the rest of the season simply work smoothly, but it also gives me a jumpstart on the growing season with a spring harvest. The key for me is starting my plants in my indoor system. In this second installment of Indoor Gardening, I show you how to get your seedlings off to a healthy start.

Can’t get enough of Patti Moreno’s great advice? There’s a lot more where this came from. Check it out.

I’ve taken over a small section of my house, the sun porch, and dedicated it to my indoor garden project for apartment dwellers as well as for the seedling factory for all my outdoor garden beds. This part of my house is south facing and gets pretty good natural light. I wanted to capitalize on the natural light so all the shelves in this area are up off the floor about fourteen inches so that as many shelves as possible can get the direct sunlight.  I measure the room and the space and then I draw out my ideas. By creating a design on paper I am able to go to catalogues and websites and make sure anything I need will fit and work in the space.

This is part one of three.
