Well I was just pricing the grow box not the contents, ironically I used dirt from the garden which the strawberry plant was currently growing and a pot recycled from a plant we got as a gift.

This is an awesome project. Nice work. Just be sure to run Norton before putting your strawberries in there. Wouldn’t want them to catch a virus. Ba-dum-bum. Thank you, I’ll be here all week.

What a great way to reuse an old PC. Maybe I should get a new desktop PC so I can make my old one into a grow box?
