D.I.Y. Greenhouse Cabinet
To keep myself sane during the winter months I made a greenhouse cabinet to not only start seeds for the garden in, but to harvest fresh lettuce, tomatoes and herbs in the dead of winter.
It truly was a welcomed project for me. I have used the traditional portable plastic greenhouses in the past and grew frustrated with how invasive and unattractive they were. I began my search for a cabinet that would resemble a small refrigerator in the corner of my open pantry area. After months of searching I found this cabinet. It’s actually an electronics cabinet with a glass door and adjustable shelving.
I then researched low heat led grow lights and found the perfect sized ones to fit in this cabinet. I also wound up placing my small hydroponics system in it which gave me extra room on my kitchen countertop.
To keep with the “refrigerator” theme I have begun starting my seeds in containers one would find in a refrigerator. Chinese food containers, soda cans and bottles... I’m extremely happy with the result and when I’m feeling depressed you can find me with my head stuck in it. Lol.
