The Provision Garden Starter Rack
One corner of an apartment. 4 ft × 5 ft, 4 shelves, 80 sq ft of growing surface under lights. Designed not for maximum yield — but for maximum nutritional coverage.
4 ft × 5 ft — fits a corner, closet, or pantry.
4 shelves under LED lights, year-round.
Of daily needs from the rack alone.
Maximum nutritional coverage.
Not maximum calories. Not maximum yield. The rack is tuned to hit the nutrients indoor systems usually miss:

The rack layout
Four shelves, top to bottom — each tuned to its crops' light and humidity needs.
Outside the rack
Oyster & Lion's Mane mushrooms
Mushrooms don't belong on the lit shelves — they don't need light and they love humidity that would rot your greens. Grow them in a nearby closet, a five-gallon bucket, or a humidity tent. They are the rack's protein wing, kept just outside the rack itself.
What the rack still won't cover
Even the perfect indoor system leaves gaps. The Provision philosophy: grow what you can, supplement what you must, buy strategically.
Apartment Rack Mode
Tell the planner your footprint — 4 shelves, 4×5, LED lights — and it returns:
- → The 8 crops to grow on each shelf
- → Estimated nutritional coverage (e.g. 72%)
- → A short shopping list to close the gaps — eggs, beans, oats, sardines
- → A weekly meal plan that actually uses what's harvest-ready
One rack. One corner. Most of your nutrition.
