Brooklyn: 1 year, 4 months ago · ViewHi all,
I am a radio journalist working on a story about windowfarms and wanted to find someone with a unique solution (in terms of light, space, etc) to include in my story. I am producing it for German Public Radio (any Germans out there?) but you don’t have to speak German. I would need to come to your home/office/school and speak to you, look at your system, etc. for about 30 min sometime in the next few days/week. Anyone out there willing to help and get the community spread across the Atlantic? You can contact me at 718-902-6090. Best,

Hi, I just started my windowfarm project! I’m a Sustainable Urban Environments student at NYU Poly in Downtown Brooklyn. I’m trying to build a 3 plant system for my dorm room and if all goes well, I’m hoping to get the Residence director to help me make a community system for a whole floor of the dorms. I just went to Brooklyn Farms (http://shop.bkfarms.com/) which was really helpful. they had all i needed and the guy working there had actually tried to build a window farm a few times, so he knew some tips. next I’m off to the hardware store and I guess Petco for the air pump. I’m planning on growing leafy plants like bok choy and mint first. does anyone recommend any place for getting seeds or seedlings for that kind of stuff?
Hi Alison,
My name is Pablo Velez, i live in Montreal and i will be heading to NYC for a week visit.
I did some experiments with aquaponics and hydroponics during the summer and in one of the systems i added a windownfarm.
I had some issues with though.
I will be in NYC between the 1 and 11 of February, i would like to check out some windownfarms while there…. i am not sure if it would be ok to connect with you and see some of the experiments.
I can send you more information about me, including some links of projects i have done.
Bes
Pablo

Hello! Yesterday I attended Do Tank’s Urban Agriculture workshop in Williamsburg with my girlfriend. We downloaded the WindowFarm Version 3.0 instructions and today we’re setting out to get started.
We decided to start our seedlings from scratch to prevent bringing any unwanted critters into our apartment. We found a local florist/garden shop in Williamsburg that sells heirloom seeds; we’re heading there today to buy some.
I’ve seen a hydroponic store off the LI Expressway in Queens, so tomorrow I will stop there to pick up some of the supplies for our windowgarden. As far as bottles are concerned, we hope to raid our building’s recycling early tomorrow morning (with the help of the building’s Porter).
We also plan to start composting in our apartment, but we need some worms first. We are both very excited about doing something to help reducing our impact on the city and the planet!
Hey whats the name of the place to get seedlings? I’m planning on doing leafy stuff mostly, bok choy, mint, maybe lettuce. I have no idea where to get the plants in the city though
