We just finished doing a little polish on the slides.

The short version:  I would like to dissuade you from buying compost or topsoil.  Ever.  Instead, I would like for you think about what are the end results that you desire, and then think about how you get there without such commercial products.

What you want is happy, healthy growies.  There are many paths to happiness.  Select one that doesn't have commercial products.

This general design is something I like a lot.  I have done a lot of fiddling and have a lot of fiddling yet to do.  

The general idea, to me, is to block the light from shining directly into your eyes, but still illuminate what you want illuminated.  I think another bit of wisdom, is to lower the light so it is closer to what you want illuminated.

I like dabbling with houseplants on the top.  Some day the whole thing could simply look like a giant house plant with light bulbs.
