November Gardening Tips
By admin | October 31, 2007
Here are some more tips for gardening in the winter. Though November brings an end to outdoor gardens, there are many ways to enjoy plants over the winter. Fluorescent lighting makes a collection of African violets or small foliage plants thrive where there is little or no natural light. Commercial grow-lights are available, but I recommend saving money by creating your own setup. You’ll need two fluorescent tubes — one “cool” blue and one “warm” red — with a reflector to focus the light on the plants. Hang the lights 12 to 18 inches above most plants. Be aware that the ends of the tubes give off less light then the center; arrange plants accordingly.
