Do I need to cover the carpet with something??

In the long run, you probably should. You'll end up spilling something that will stain the carpet. If you get too much humitity the shelf above will warp too... Why do I know? I use my closet to go under my house to get in the garden...


Good growing

So what do you recommend I cover the carpet with? A tarp or something like that?

You think? Too bad short answers won't post.

That will work. If you can take the carpet up without cutting it go ahead and take it out.

If you're planning on growing here for a year or more you might as well lay down some scrap wood, or if you have the money buy some 1/4 to 1/2 in. plywood and lay down so things are more stable.

Hmm, well I'd have to buy the tarp anyways..so I might as well get some plywood straight off the bat. Thanks for the advice.

Any other opinions are welcome btw.

if you start spilling water on the carpet, you'll get mold.
