I start hundreds of seedlings indoors in my living/great room on a 6 shelf metal rack unit that is 4 feet long. I attach my grow lights. When it is time to pot up and move outside, I have a Spring Gardner greenhouse that I put up on my deck. It's 6 by 8 ft., has zip doors on opposite sides as well as velcro windows on the long sides. I break down my shelf metal rack into two 3 shelf metal racks and put each one inside the greenhouse along the 8 ft. side. I can fit another shelf unit along the back. The greenhouse I bought at Blairs Farm and Fleet for under $200 and I had the metal racks and lights. So far, so good. I can put a portable heater inside along with a thermostat. The only thing is I wish I had bought the 8 by 10 ft. unit. They always say, go bigger and that is true. For the last few years, I have been starting at least 800 seedlings for myself and others. When I whittle that down, the 6 x 8ft. unit will be more than enough.
