You don't need a green thumb to keep the thyme and aloe alive all winter. What you need is a grow light with the right wavelengths and intensity.

Grow lights aren't usually attractive. You don't need to purchase a specific bulb from a nursery when a second-hand lamp will do the trick.

I set out to learn what truly makes LED lighting different from traditional bulbs - and it turns out, it's about more than just saving energy.
