Water Bottle Suspension
11:38 am in Featured Post, Materials and Resources by andy
We’ve figured out a way to suspend the water bottles from eachother, eliminating the need for fishing line or any other external means of hanging each bottle separately. Basically, the bottom of each bottle is drilled with a hole that the neck of the bottle above fits into perfectly. Screw the cap on, and you have a surpisingly strong connection. Check out more about our process here: http://hughswindowfarm.tumblr.com/
Do you take donations via paypal?
As of tomorrow, we will! We are putting up a button on the “contribute” tab on the main site, windowfarms.org. We would sure make great use of your financial contribution to give this project some longevity! We are talking to attys about becoming a formal 501-c3 nonprofit.
We just started this system in our office. A 1 inch spoon was all that was needed to make the holes. It is working great! I have pictures if anyone is interested
I am currently in a rebuild phase. I lost a lot of plants when they shut off the heat to my office. But here is a link to a current picture. I don’t know how else to post photos here. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Hq6TC9vFXZ9KzFCn5pVV_Q?feat=directlink

For future reference everyone, if you want to attach a photo to your post, click the little sun (??) icon above the text box. It will open a window that lets you attach images.
Will somebody advise / guide me about: what kind of plants we can grow in this system? Thnx.
