Hello,

One four foot fluorescent light fixture from wal-mart costs around 8 dollars. I would go with 5 of them for a total of 40+tax.

Then the floro tubes cost around 5 for two of them (I think I can't really remember). At two per fixture that is 25+tax.

Containers can be had for little if you can find clean buckets somewhere. I am not sure on their cost really, lets say two bucks each for 5 gallon buckets, for a total of 5 buckets. 10 dollars.

Soil plus amendments will run around 20-50 depending on quantity and quality. Average 35 dollars.

Lights and Fixtures: 65 + tax
Buckets: 10 + tax
Soil: 35 + tax

For a total of 110 bucks.

I am sure that you can find better deals and such, I am just guesstimating.

I hope this helps. I am off to bed.

Happy Holidays.

Peace
