Hoe gaat het inmiddels met die Aardbeien? ik heb gemerkt dat slappe blaadjes niet echt een probleem is, wellicht werkt iets vaker water geven, ik weet niet wat je nu doet?
In reply to - windowfarmnijmegen posted an update in the group Netherlands: Mijn windowfarm is up and running. Aarbeien vinden het alleen nog niet heel erg leuk in mijn windowfarm (slappe takken/blaadjes)… Misschien wat langer in het donker moeten zetten voor een betere wortelgroei? Iemand een idee? · View -
He Ankie, cool dat ie werkt!
de net pots kwamen http://www.eugrowshop.eu/nl/potten-kweekbakken/potten-rond/ vandaan, een webwinkel waar je ook gewoon langs kunt fietsen nabij Tilburg
een growshop hier in Eindhoven is http://www.desjop.nl/ daar ga ik heen voor m’n voeding

Hoi Lindy,
of het uiteindelijk rendabel is? ik vermoed van wel, ten minste, als je nu al vaak dingen als verse kruiden in de supermarkt koopt gaat dat wel lukken denk ik
je kan best grote planten laten groeien in een windowfarm, de reden dat je allemaal kleine platjes in die flessen ziet is dat de meeste foto’s worden gepost door mensen die net hun windowfarm werkende hebben. zelf heb ik dus wel cherry tomaten in m’n farm geplaatst, niet wetende hoe groot die dingen worden en ik verbaas me er nog steeds over dat er een plant van meer dan 2 meter kan groeien uit een potje niet veel groter dan anderhalve liter (ik vind ze eigenlijk te groot worden moet ik bekennen)
voorzien in je eigen groente behoefte? ik vermoed van niet of je moet een hele grote farm maken in een heel zonnig raam (veel succes hier in nederland) zelf ga ik voor verse kruiden, pepers, paprika’s en aardbeien. het beste werkt het denk ik om nooit een hele fles te oogsten maar gewoon zo nu en dan wat plukken.
Succes ermee!
In reply to - Lindy posted an update in the group Netherlands: Ik zit erover te denken om een windowfarm te beginnen, maar ik vraag mij een paar dingen af. Ten eerste… is het financiëel een beetje rendabel? Ik snap dat het een investering is, maar hoe lang duurt het voordat je die eruit hebt? Of gebeurt dat nooit? Ten tweede… [...] · View -

If I were you I’d start out with the net pots, they are harder to find then you would expact here in the Netherlands, I eventually bought them over here: http://www.eugrowshop.eu/nl/potten-kweekbakken/potten-rond/ the 7.5 cm ones fit perfectly in Bar le Duc koolzuurhoudend mineraalwater (van de flessen zonder koolzuur zijn de vernauwingen net iets kleiner, echt [...]

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has experience using ph buffers in there windowfarm? , see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_solution I know of a nutrient solution which uses ph buffer micro particles to stabelize the ph level but that one is fine tuned to grow weed, so it only has instructions for flowering plants and not for [...]

Hi Mikael, the plastic getting warmer, I’m not worried because 1) why start worriing now? and 2) reactions due to light are usually due to UV light since this type of light has more energy to start the reaction but the windowfarms are behind glass and since glas blocks UV light I’m not worried

the electricity costs are insignificant indeed. but Brian, why do you say capilary cannot work? the internal fluid transport inside a plant works on capilary action and that’s limited to a hight of about 300 feat (giant redwoods)

it’s an interresting idea altough the powercost is realy realy low, like 10 kwh per year. but still, using capilairies could eliminate this. you would ave to find realy thin tubing and use a different tube for each plant, basicly extending the root system which also works in a capilairy way. the thing I’d worry [...]
