Not only do I show you how to build the light frame, I show how the seed trays wick water up to the pellets. I planted soapwort, indigo, and mignonette in these trays. Just waiting for the newest woad seeds to arrive.

These are madder seeds in peat pots ready for water to be added. I need to get a bit of potting soil to cover the seeds, but for 24 hours, it won’t hurt them being uncovered.
Recycling at its best. The aluminum trays are from a catered meal at the office back in January. The gravel is from a failed aquarium experiment (it’s clay and far too muddy for aquariums), and it is perfect for keeping the soaked peat pots standing and helps with water management.
I ran out of peat pots after planing Lady’s Bedstraw, madder, bloodroot, and mignonette seeds. I still have woad and soapwort seeds to plant, and I’d like to order some indigo seeds so I can compare indigo and woad. Luckily, I have these planter pots and some pressed paper egg cartons to use.
But the best part?
My light rack! This is left over PVC from the backdrop frame we used to use at comic conventions. It was still in its bag in the back of Scott’s art closet. And, better yet, I have enough to build another one. Now just to figure out where to put it. The bathroom counter works great for this one, but I need another space just as big for another one. I need to figure that one out. Hmmm…
