O.O I've never considered mushrooms before, are they hard to grow?

I wanted to grow a small vegetable garden, maybe lettuce, beets .... but I haven't really given it much thought I think your tips give me good perspective though, I don't want to bring up my electricity cost soo much. Based on your advice, I may grow more leafy green veggies.

That's my last resort!

I think aquaponics may be a little too complicated for me! Not really looking to care for fish and lobsters, and I think my landlord would not appreciate the whole water system in my apt But if I move out, then I'm definitely considering it! Thanks for your tips on the bulbs though

I live in an apartment right now without a backyard, so I've been trying to figure out creative ways to keep a garden. I've been looking into indoors gardens, but the main problem with my place is that it simply does not have access to enough sun. But I read that you could use certain light bulbs instead... has anyone had any good experiences with using grow light bulbs (I found some green ones with this lightbulb vendor)? Have you been able to grow a garden with artificial light? What are some ways I can get around this dilemma?
