<< light for heat? looks good in the dark also or To First Photo	plant starts and Christmas lights - heating the soil Photo added: Feb 25 2010	rosemary blooming >> or To Last Photo
Description: A hundred light sting of the mini Christmas lights are keeping a temperature of approximately 60F at the bottom of the plastic under-the-bed containers with 40F temperature outside at night. The air temperature on the top shelf with no lights is about 44F. I didn't have it set up when we had temps in the 20's last week. What I am striving for is root warmth. We'll see how it goes this spring and may make some adjustments. The shelving units are open at the bottom.
