Re: sun shine refector ideas needed

Come on guys, a flat mirror 15 feet away? Think about a reasonable
sized mirror and ask yourself how long, making some reasonable
assumptions, it would reflect light into the OP's window. Then ask, for
a given mirror position, how many days have to go by before such a
mirror has to be repositioned to regain most of the available time
back. The numbers work out pretty much the same as if he put the plants
15 feet in from a window the size of the mirror, don't they?
