- I really needed a better setup for starting seeds, but I didn't have a huge budget to get it done ... so I came up with this idea of wood shelves that fit my aesthetic with LED strip lighting. It was easy and cost effective!

+Kathryn Mettelka thank you! Yes, my budget forced the creativity but I’m very pleased with how attractive it turned out as well.
That's fantastic! I'm looking forward to following your seedling schedule and the completion of your fabulous new room.
+Debra Bray I’m getting started today! Always excited for the new year and new seed possibilities!
My husband has been in construction forever, and even though we've been married 45 years, I don't think, I know, I would not have done such an excellent job installing those shelves. Maybe I rely on him to much to do all the work, or maybe he wouldn't trust me!!🤣
It's very impressive!!
Thoughts: Could you create some kind of risers to raise your seedlings instead of purchasing more shelving? Maybe turn some pots upside down. I know you're going for a specific look, just a thought to cut costs.
Great job!!
+Janice Tanner that’s a good idea … maybe just something as simple as terracotta pots from the craft store … I’ll be showing what new seed trays I’m using next week … they are smaller that I have used in the past but I believe a better fit for the level of gardening that I do.
Love the new shelves and grow lights.
+michelle pollino thanks … I’m already putting them to good use!
Good morning She's a Mad Gardener. Happy New Year. Fantastic. I'm definitely going to build this to get my garden started this winter. Thanks for sharing. 😁👍
+Richard Wright good morning! Wonderful, let me know if you have any tips or changes that you make so I can share with everyone … I feel like this is an concept that can be built upon and improved.
@@shesamadgardener I certainly will. However, your set-up seems to just about cover it. Thanks.
Everything came out beautiful!
and oh my goodness Amanda I’ve been drooling over that very same color for over a year!!!!
+Gabrielle A. Tumminello I’m obsessed with this color! I think I’m going to paint the island in my kitchen this color as well. Where are you thinking about using it?
That is a great idea. I can't wait to see if that's enough light. I'm not sure but it's an interesting experiment.
You and me both!
Lesson learned, thanks for sharing.
+Veleria Singletary 💚💚💚
Love this idea. Especially the lights. Thanks for sharing.
+Karen Baker You are welcome! 💚
Awesome job!! 👏👏👏👏 what a creative way to set up grow lights and stick to a budget. Thank you for doing all that research and showing us the process. Excited to see how it goes 😃
+Pat Boyle thanks! I will definitely give updates!
It looks amazing!!! I was wondering how to install floating shelves and you explained it so well. I can't wait to install my floating shelves
It looks lovely and functional
+Donna Smalley Thank you 💚💚💚
I’ve been waiting to see how you transition your room. So far, it’s great. Anxious for the rest. I loved how you did your husband’s den, so I know this will be awesome
+Cathy Wright aww thanks! The final video will be out next week!
So much talent!
Thank you!
Happy New Year. Loved this video showing us how to install the wood shelves and grow lights. Very ingenious and I could tell you did a lot of research before attempting this project. Looking forward to seeing the next phase with the seedlings.
+Rosemary Purnell Happy New Year Rosemary! Thanks for always taking the time to comment … I’m so thankful. Can’t wait to share how these shelves do over time.
It's gonna be an awesome studio for yourself & us!
+grinchis40 I’m so excited!
How exciting! I love your video. It never occurred to me that I could use led strip lighting to grow seedlings. 👍🏼
I'm glad that I found your channel since we live in the same plant hardiness zone.
Looking forward to watching more of your videos and learning from you. 👍🏼
Happy gardening 🌻🌹
+shelley's flowers yay! Glad that you found me! I’m excited to see how these do!
Interested to see how this goes! I could do this with some shelves we already have in the basement. Keep us updated!
+Gwyneth Gaspari great idea! It could work on lots of existing shelves!
Love your sketching too!
+Cathy Sinor aww thanks!
Happy New Year! You have gotten very creative with your shelving and lighting. But hey! Nothing ventured; nothing gained. I got a forged trowel for Christmas. I'm ready to dig!
+Jennifer Hooks happy new year! Yes, my budget required the creativity and also I just wanted it to be pretty. That forged trowel will outlast every tool you have!
Great job!
+Joyce Rapezzi thank you!
Love your lights + shelves. Happy new year, Amanda!
+Cathy Sinor Happy New Year, Cathy!
What a fun new space! Happy New Year!
+Megan Ramsey Happy New Year!
Awesome can't wait to see how this works for you! I need something for some of my house plants?
+Michelle France yes, I’m excited to see how they do … I’ll be setting up some smaller versions for house plants later on.
Wonderful job. Can I ask what the connectors are? Excuse my ignorance. Just found you and what a brilliant idea.
I’m not sure what you mean by connectors?
You might want to use something lighter as a riser for your seedling trays, like plastic trays turned upside down. These shelves look wonderful.
Great idea! I went and put the lids under the trays! Thanks!
Hey Amanda. Thank you for sharing the great tips on this budget growing light setup. I just planted 17 boxes of 3*4 seeds last week, and I am thinking of building the growing light shelves leveraging your great ideas! After using it, how do you think of this design? Any recommendations for me to change a bit on mine?
Love the design but I should have put the shelves closer together or made them moveable!
@@shesamadgardener Great! Thank for for sharing the experience with me :)
great video, looks great. How did the lights work out?
So far so good!
I share this video often with people looking for grow lights or budget friendly seed starting.
Wonderful!
Are the lights full spectrum? Thats what is recommended for plants.
+Jean Lotz I don’t think so but I made these for seedlings which do not require full
Spectrum!
