I have used it some – it does take some planning and it does work. You need to be sure to check everything a little more often and be sure one plant is not leaning on another, etc. and be sure there is adequate light and air-flow, but it works and I have been to seminars with other people talking about it – the better you are at seed starts, the more control you have but you can do it pretty well by just laying it out like they tell you and putting new stuff in as things finish up. Because vegies all have different reactions to heat and humidity, everyone’s will be a little different, also depending on what you like to eat, in terms of vegies. If you like to tend a garden, then you will enjoy this method. If you prefer to “set it and forget it” it will not work nearly as well – you need to check on it and tie stuff up sometimes or cut it back to keep it all happy – it is a great puttering garden.
