I sure as hell don’t want to be working in my garden in ski pants and snow boots… hands all numb and frozen boogers in my beard. Hell No.And therein lies the beauty of it…My garden isn’t outside under a foot of snow. It’s inside. In the warmth of my grow-room. A 20 x 15’ area of work space in the basement with shelves and grow lights, seed starting mixes and potting soils, and seed trays sitting on top of heating mats.There’s a bar-height table with a 36x36” black plastic drain pan that we’ve repurposed as a work surface to keep soil, compost, and water from reaching the floor.Now don’t be trying to picture some pristine climate-controlled sciency type of space.Noooo… This is at best, a piece-mealed and frankensteined mash of incompatible interconnected tools of the trade acquired over time and sourced from the cheapest vendors, mostly Amazon and Walmart, and sometimes free… think Dirty Garden Hoe dumpster-diving on the way back from the feed store kind of free… All tossed together and organized into a perfect form of dirty workspace.Does yours have to be as big as ours? No it doesn’t. It can be smaller, much smaller. Probably should be smaller. We found out last season that our grow-room is actually not big enough. Remember, our garden is 1250 sqf… I’ve lived in apartments that were half that size. And this next season, we’re adding another 1250 sqf to it… though I haven’t quite figured out exactly how yet but, it’s gonna happen. We need that space. But, even if you’re in a smaller space like an apartment or a flat, you can and should have a grow-room, be it a little corner of the bedroom or window ledges in the living room or countertops in the kitchen or bathroom… or all of the above.Now is the time to start.And Buddy’s got you covered. He’s got a Top 10 list all about what we need to be doing right now in the dead of Winter, so that our gardens will be lush and plentiful come Spring.TOPS Bunker Podcast YouTube ChannelSpeakPipe/TOPSTOPSBunker.comRefuge Medical Use TOPSBUNKER10 at Checkout for 10% DiscountPlease Visit Our Affiliate Links to Find Great Preparedness Products:Grow Light - Full Spectrum 4'Grow Light - Full Spectrum 2'x2'VivoSun Heat Mat for Seedlings 10"x20"VivoSun Seed Tray Heat Mat ComboHaxNicks 20 Cell Rapid Root Trainer TraysVivoSun Grow Tent System 4'x2'Surge Protector Strip 1625W 8 Slot +USB12/3 HD SJTW Ext Cord w/3 Outlets 6'CordHappy Frog Organic Potting Soil 2 CFVivoSun Worm Farm 3-Layer Kit w/ToolsUncle Jims Red Wigglers Worms 500 Count LiveHeavy Duty Utility ShelfSupport the show
