Okay, here’s one to add your thoughts to:
Having read this, I was wondering whether one couldn’t build a compact WF-AWTS using a (large) bottle.
I think it’ll be quite easy to do one in my farm setup, but may be more difficult in the normal configuration.
I was thinking of a bottle with the bottom cut off, [...]

My first farm was 3 x 1.5L soda bottles mounted together according to V2 design, and with the modified airlift system.
It worked… but my plants(2 strawberry and a chili plant) didn’t survive my vacation.
So, if I hadto start the plants over, why notthe farm, too?

This new design is based on the same airlift as I know it works [...]

When I first saw this website, I thought it was great on so many levels. My group of friends store food ,and growing some indoors year-round fits in with that concept of thinking about the future ,when the country may suffer food shortages. As a 6th grade teacher, I am going to have the students [...]

Hey guys, been following you for a while, but just signed up to the site.
I’ve been working on an automated gardening system, an ebb & flow hydroponics system. It also uses a few sensors and the Make Controller to supplement the natural light. You can check out it’s live page here. http://entropealab.mine.nu:8080 I’ve also been [...]

I decided this time around to build an aquaponic window farm. I wanted to put my reservoir to good use, and also had an extra fish tank around. I decided to use the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) river system (FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrient_film_technique) to accomplish this. This system has so many advantages! One pump (blue hose) pumps [...]

(started as an update of mine, may deserve a full post)
How about this:
Use regular clay pots for the plants, tie moss/succulents/whateveryoulike to their outside, and do the rest by the book.
The moisture seeping through will feed the ”living pots”, any excess would simply drop below.
Should look nice.

I’m not certain that the clay will let [...]

 
I have a very nice window farm.  I built it with two holes on either side of the bottle to allow 2 plants to grow out each side.  This has been working very well and my plants are taking over my window, yay! As I was trimming some dead leaves I started wondering, why have holes [...]

I recorded a brief video to document my experiment with an airlift system.
If the video doesn’t show up (the preview certainly isn’t showing it), then you can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4xkUsAlM_0

Hello Windowfarms.org.
I recently built my own little system after stumbling upon your website. I found the instructions fairly easy. Sourcing the materials was easy as well.
I went a bit crazy and decided to do some peppers and tomatoes. Pollinating the tomatoes has been a little bit of an issue, but it’s coming along.
The rate of [...]

I really would have liked to have been able to post all of this directly on this website, but alas, am not warranted the ability to post pictures. And I like pictures.  So instead, I invite you to check out my primarily recycled and organic window farm.  Constructed using wine bottles and rope. I have [...]
