Growing your indoor garden in a small space such as a closet can be quite beneficial to the hobbyist gardener. The grow space will be small and out of the way, yet easy to work with. Even the smallest of closet spaces can provide you with a good amount of fresh grown vegetables year round.
Because of the various sizes of closets available in homes we will have to use a simple formula to find the square footage of your closet. This is how to find the square footage of your grow space. (Width x Length= Square Feet)
Example: If your closet which is 3'x4', you will find this room to be 12 sq. feet.
The reason you need to know the square footage of your closet is because plants have a certain light requirement for optimum growth. For Example, tomato plants need to attain around 40-50 watts per square foot for optimal growth. You then would take 50 watts x 12sq. ft. = 600 watts. This means that you will need a 600 watt light to maintain your plants optimal growth in this particular garden. (Plants wattage needs x Square Feet = grow light requirement).
