Starting seed on a budget this year? You can reuse materials you already have to hold your lights and trays. A repurposed shelving unit can hold 2-foot or 4-foot grow lights, and you can raise or lower the lights and shelves as needed. With some PVC pipe and joints, you can create a sturdy custom light stand in about an hour (See UMD Link at end of post). You can even use long chains to hang a growlight from the ceiling over an old coffee table!

For more information, see University of Maryland Extension's "PVC Light Stand" at extension.umd.edu/hgic/topics/pvc-light-stand?fbclid=IwAR2iz1DMRBdKYUy2nT-FFJnY0Yq-W64vTLCpoH6uOD..., Cornell University Cooperative Extension Rockland County's "Grow-Light Stand Plans" at rocklandcce.org/resources/grow-light-stand-plans, or the University of Maine's "Garden Equipment and Items to Make for the Maine Garden" at extension.umaine.edu/publications/2763e/
