I thought they were all about maximizing space and only for areas where the water table and geology allowed (eg. my house in Spokane, WA, was build on a mound of basalt so there was no basement).danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-87755827743670768322020-12-06T19:27:43.018-08:002020-12-06T19:27:43.018-08:00Those of us lucky enough to have the space.Those of us lucky enough to have the space.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-82020177505803113732020-12-06T14:17:11.850-08:002020-12-06T14:17:11.850-08:00The final effect is awesome and your work space lo...The final effect is awesome and your work space looks like it inspires creativity. How many hours does it take to move the plants indoors?<br /><br />btw - hardly anyone seems to have a basement here in Bay Area.

I would laugh at all your plants but my basement is stuffed with vases, a whole room with rack storage for paintings, a large area for Mark's photo storage, framing etc. and lots of shelves for sculptural items. So it just depends on which passion gets indoor space. We all have a basement "garden" of some sort.

I don't know what my garden would be like without this space! The lights are a mix of different types and values. There is no real science to how I go about it. As for watering, the bromeliads are misted a couple times a week, watered as needed. The xeric plants are lucky to get watered at all over the wintertime.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-37655714229750284502020-12-05T10:59:32.877-08:002020-12-05T10:59:32.877-08:00Yes it is, and there's a lift-out shelf in the...Yes it is, and there's a lift-out shelf in the inside.
