Window Farming

I was trolling through YouTube the other day and found a wonderful website that talks about a hydroponic growing system for your homes windows! Just think about it, a window with recycled plastic bottles that can grow your herbs and some vegetables! Here is the link to the web-site: http://www.windowfarms.org/

Here is an exerpt from their website: "Windowfarms are suspended, hydroponic, modular, low-energy, high-yield edible food gardens built using low-impact or recycled local materials. This site is the online community of window farmers, where we share our development processes and design innovations. The designs evolve through this online collaboration of individuals.

These vertical gardens, located in windows throughout the cityscape, are intended to inspire others to design and implement their own window farms, creating a network of urban food production. Signs in the windowfarms will challenge people to create their own and direct them to a website where we can all share photos, plans, designs, and information."
