    I'm thinking of growing a big tomato plant* (bigger than an Aero Garden could handle) in my cubicle, but I'm guessing the fluorescent lights would be insufficient. Any recommendations for a full spectrum grow lamp that can hook to the top of cubicle walls? *Yes, really a tomato plant. Sheesh.

      Make a hole in the ceiling if you’re on the last floor. If not a series of correctly placed holes and a simple system of mirrors up to the roof will do the job. If you lost your job during the process of installation sue your company for not been green and refusing to provide you with a human friendly work environment. You could also name your plant after the dumbest of your co-workers and make a loudly conversations with it. Edit: Don’t be upset if after following my advice your new plant name is AspDotNetDev. :-D Why I have the feeling that the tomato name is going to be Deyan?

          These "tomatos" you want to grow, need special lighting do they? Admit it: they are going to end up in roll-your-owns. ;P

                Growing it in his cubicle may be a little obvious! I once spotted a 4ft tomato plant growing in a garden at the back of a highrise office building, bits would go missing on a regular basis, eventually someone ripped out the entire plant, much to my disgust.
