christmas starters - i am a master gardener in snohomish county. last year i grew 1,000 vegetable starts for our annual plant sale. the cost for grow mats was too high, so i used my christmas rope lights and zip tied them to my wire shelves. i grew the best basil, peppers and tomatoes with that added bottom heat. i thought it was a good use of non LED rope lights. i think the neighbors were a bit confused about the glowing red and purple lights, but they all benefited with healthy plant starts.
