Use in very small city gardens. Can this be used in a very small space?

I have used similar traps for many years. You want to be out of sight and smell of this bottle filled with dead, rotting flies. Flies are attracked by this smell. Partially empting the container and adding water is all you need to do all summer! Very inexpensive and ecologic but yucky.

I personally would not put it in a space without a little air circulation. This unit is being used in a small alcove with approximately 4-6 inches clearance around and works really well. The air is forced out through the bottom front.

It is not designed for that, and is not moisture resistant, so I would not do so. Units designed for outdoor use are designated as such by UL.

I don't really know if it can be used outside or not. I use it as intended for my plants. My cats love it when there is enough space for them to lay on and look out the window. ( I have a few these heat mats). The directions say to wipe up moisture when spilled water lands on it.

You could use it indoors. But you would need to put a catch basin under it. They leak rather well. I havent gotten much to grow it these. I would not buy more.

I have one (its about 3 months old now) and I live just South of Seattle. Currently, it is in my windowsill and doing just fine and I have heard that you can plant them outside as well as they are very hardy! So, a definite yes to indoor growing and a tentative yes if you want to put it outside. :)

Not really. Make sure there is a lot of drainage. I planted my in two places in above ground beds. The smaller bed had a liner and poor drainage. The other bed was larger than a car and had drainage. There was a huge size difference. The largest plants reached about 16 inches. The smallest one only reach about four inches in the smaller bed.

I use it all around the house. One little packet covers a pretty big area. I wouldn't store it. It looses it's effectiveness. As far as flower beds, as long as there is not eatable in them, use it. It want hurt the flowers. But I wouldn't use it around gardens.

If you are planning on growing it indoors, I don't see why not? Outdoors, I'd ask your local garden center if there are varieties that will thrive in your outdoor climate.

Yes, that is the only way to use it unless you can afford to over wrap a plant. Be careful on your measurements. It needs to go all the way to the ground so that cold air does not migrate up into gaps.

I don't think it can be used outdoors... It is a great fixture though for indoors.. :)

I would not recommend it unless it was outside in a somewhat sheltered area. Even then I wouldn't do it. It is perfect for a garage or indoor.

Because of the low heat output you can put it as close as you want. But the distance will change the usability. Closer to the plant the plant will get more energy but higher up and the light can cover more space.

I got mine to use indoors and it has worked out very well. I left out one of the shelves to make room for taller plants, but of course that depends on the plants you have. I recommend this product for indoor use, I hope you enjoy it!!

No. Not unless you were going to sit in it and work on only a small portion (3ft) of a flowerbed. You can't stand up in it and moving it around the yard as you moved among your plants would be very cumbersome.

I planted in a place where it gets no sun. It has leaves but is still only about 12 inches high, so it's growing very slowly. I'm giving it one more summer before I move it.

I would think not. It's designed to be used in a closed space (where it works well)
