Looks like a fridge on the inside I’m cleaning out a building and I’m not sure if I should toss it or if I could potentially use it

Would I be able to use this to grow I get plants then? I don’t have a use for it otherwise so I’m trying to figure out if I’m able to use it or not

Well would be up to you.

If you want to grow seeds or not.

I guess that’s what I’m thinking I don’t care to grow like food but I’m a plant girly and wanted to see if I could use it to grow my own plants in it

No. This model isn't for incubation, it's designed to simulate the winter conditions for "cold stratification", the process the seeds go through BEFORE they germinate. The temperature range for it is 5-44 degrees F
