Hi Everyone,
I’ve really enjoyed reading all of the posts and getting an idea of what people are doing.  I’ve finally just completed building my first column, following the excellent directions provided by WindowFarms…Version 3.o…they were quite clear and the photos were very helpful.  I do plan on building three more for my apartment, but since [...]

It took me 3 or 4 times to register/activate and had to change password twice. Now I’m trying to get the pdf for instructions and it keeps telling me I have to register.  Even though I’m already logged in. I would like to try this system, but am getting so frustrated that I can’t even [...]

My balcony is on the north side of the building, so there is no direct sunlight. But I guess I have to consider wind, [...]

I’d like to preface this post by saying that if these issues have been dealt with before or the solutions appear to be self-evident, please bear in mind I lived through the 1960’s. I think that says it all.
I am working from the ”new” 3-plant airlift sytem pdf file. I am in the process of assembling [...]

After leaving the comforts of my thriving garden in suburban California, I now find myself in a hectic, crazy Third World country. The produce here is just terrible, and what’s available is soooo expensive. I miss eating from my own garden, and so this seems like the perfect cure for my woes. I’ll be smuggling [...]
