    Are there any people or organizations involved with Windowfarms near Edmonton? We are hosting a Sustainability fair the 8th and 9th of March and looking for exhibitors. Please message me if you know of anyone who may want to participate.

      Sorry I didn’t get back to you in time for your sustainability fair! How did it go?

      I’m moving more towards passive hydroponics (aquaculture) … I’ll do a post about it soon.

    I am curious to see if anyone has had progress with their window farm in Edmonton during these cold months, this winter seems to be quite mild so far and relatively sunny. Does anyone have any pictures to show off of their window farms?

    I’m west of Edmonton and have just completed a gravity fed (i.e. manual recirculating, I live on a farm so there is almost always someone here) windowfarm using vinyl gutters to make 3 wide beds that drain one to the next (rather than tall columns). It’s in the window, it’s hydroponic, and it’ll grow veggies, so I consider it a windowfarm even if it is a bit of a variant. Will be posting about it shortly.

      Is this window farm of yours portable?

        Well, it’s attached in ways that can be undone if you moved, though there’s a few holes. :) The supports in the window are screwed to the frame, as is the hanger that holds the water source.

          Would you be able and willing to bring it, or a mini version to Grant MacEwan next week as an exhibit? Please call me either way, I’ve been handed an event that was not-so-pre-planned to finish. Thank you. 780.935.5847

    I’m in Medicine Hat, but have family in Edmonton. Any updates on suppliers? Has anyone in this group got so far as to get a WF in operation?
