Window Farm in Chicago!

I discovered this site a few months ago when I was checking out old kickstarter projects. The DIY is awesome and so thorough! After studying it for a few days I went out to gather my materials. Put this bad boy together in an afternoon. I had some problems with the air needle blowing bubbles out of the hose at first, but it seems to be working fine now. Here it is!



I am really happy with how it turned out. Can’t wait to get started on a second column! I made sure to get the 4 way pump so I can expand
Hello Steffe,
Congrats on I love the knot work around your containers. I am new to window farming and have been on the site for some time looking at people’s gardens and gathering ideas (still in research mode). I really want to do something very pretty to my bottles. I am just curious. Is this macramé? I would like to try something like this as well. (^_^)

Its actually crocheted! I’ve been crocheting for a few years now, so I can make these little guys pretty fast. I don’t have a pattern, but if you have experience crocheting it is quite easy to make a form that fits your specific bottles.
Ah ha! yes I though it looked like crochet but a friend of mine a few months ago was doing this thing where she was that of knotting and spranging around a bottle so I thought that might have been what you did. So one more question – Do you crochet then slip it on the bottle? Or crochet around it? Thanks for sharing.
I crocheted it separately and slipped it on before assembling everything. I suppose you could crochet around the bottle, but it might be a little difficult.
I was hoping I could just make a little cover and slip it on. Thanks again for sharing your techniques!
I love your containers! They are so nice. Thank you for great ideas!
