It is informative and very easy to follow, making great use of simple inexpensive materials.

I do something similar, using a folding table, I only get one set of lights, I like this increase in use of floor space! I get carried away with things I want to start before I am ready to heat the greenhouse (zone 3).
I do two other things that may or may not be helpful to some, I put clear plastic over the light and allow it to hang down to the edges of the table...I use clothespins to hold the ends together. Serves 2 funtions: keeps in moisture and keeps my cats OUT!! The other thing is to use old heating pads under the seed flats for germination.

Thanks for sharing this. Simple can be better. No need for expensive shelves and grow lights.

Thanks to all of you for reading my article. And I apologize for not checking back sooner.

Basket_case: Wouldn't that clear plastic create a safety hazard, or is it a safe distance from the light? I can see the practicality of it.
