Super Cool Article about Window Farming

5th April, 2010 - Posted by katherine - No Comments

This is a neat story from NPR about window farming – the article explains that “window farmers use recycled 1.5 liter water bottles, clay pellets, plastic tubing and inexpensive fish tank air pumps to create their indoor gardens.”

Check out the link for pictures of the window farms, but basically it’s a really cool way to grow leafy vegetables in an apartment with a series of clear bottles hanging down your window –  it’s just this really pretty display of bottles and greenery, and the materials for a start up system are around $30.
