Humidity Control in Indoor Gardens

Humidity is a fundamental, yet often overlooked, factor in creating a thriving indoor garden. Whether you're growing vegetables, herbs, or ornamental plants, maintaining the right humidity level is essential for optimal plant health, growth, and yield. Humidity directly affects how plants absorb water and nutrients, as well as their ability to carry out photosynthesis efficiently. In an indoor setting, where environmental conditions are tightly controlled, the balance of humidity becomes even more crucial.


Too little humidity can cause plants to dry out, leading to slow growth, wilting, and poor nutrient uptake. On the other hand, excessive humidity encourages mold, mildew, and pests, all of which can stunt growth and reduce overall yields. In this blog, we’ll explore how humidity influences every aspect of indoor plant health and offer practical tips on how to maintain the ideal humidity levels for a bountiful and healthy indoor garden.

When we seal up your crawl space, we're creating a controlled environment under your home. That's great for stopping moisture problems, but there's something else we need to think about: radon gas. As a crawl space expert in Middle Tennessee, I've added radon mitigation to our services because these two things go hand in hand.

I just inspected a two-year-old home in Lebanon that really got me fired up. The house is beautiful, the crawl space looks professionally done at first glance - spray foam, poly barrier, the works. But there's already fungus growing everywhere. Why? Because the builder skipped one critical thing: dehumidifiers.

When you've got water in your crawl space or a serious problem that needs immediate attention, the last thing you want is to deal with a call center. Hi, I'm Josh, owner of Crawl Logic, and I handle emergency crawl space calls personally - even on Sundays. Just this weekend, I was out inspecting a crawl space within an hour of getting the call.
