You actually fit the windowfarm to the window. I’m going to work on a page that makes it easy to figure this out. Will get back with a link.

If you check out version 1.0, the reservoir system, it uses a water pump. Water pumps are finnicky things and make for a much more complicated system, unltimately, which is why the community has moved away from them over time. The particles of nutrients in the water eventually clog the pump and cause it to [...]

Hi. What version of the how-to are you looking at? I’m suspecting you may be operating off of an old version. There should be illustrations in the PDF that show you where everything including each size of tubing goes. If you are not sure, please download the instructions again and just compare them to your current [...]

@jzas55 you are going to have to be more specific about which of these troubleshooting tips you have already tried. Also, pictures help the community troubleshoot for you. I recommend that you create a new post so you can add pictures and simply link to your post here in the comments. If you are not sure [...]

The first patent is pending, thanks to the generosity of Rafe Furst . As the area of open hardware/mechanics intellectual property law gets sorted out, this patent pending status secures the community’s design against patent trolls but keeps the designs free & in the public domain for individuals who accept the community’s open terms of service . In general, [...]

Hi CC! Congratudolences! You are a real farmer now that you can say you’ve lost a whole crop and learned from it. I’m very sorry though. It is very sad when all your hard work meets with fried little babies. Last summer, our small demo system died right in the front windows of Eyebeam and [...]

THE PROBLEM It’s a daily miracle that enough food is grown, packaged, transported, & distributed to feed more than 3 billion people in cities worldwide. A massive industrial food complex has been set up to meet the demands of our fast growing, increasingly urban populations. My engineer/inventor grandfather played a role in creating this system, having designed [...]

In the meantime, you guys can help us by building windowfarms in your schools [...]

This is totally off the topic of windowfarming, but does anyone want in on a CSA down here? I know the farmers who supply veggies to Marlow & Sons and Diner. For $30-35 a week, we could each het a big box of veggies from these farmers. Split it with a neighbor and it starts to be a really good deal. Ping me if you want in. Not sure how we’ll manage it yet or when it will happen. Just collecting names at this point.

There’s a little sun shaped button right above the text area when you are writing a new post. I have no idea why wordpress made it look like that, but that is the way you insert photos. I’m so sorry that this interface sucks so badly. We are trying to migrate asap.
In reply to - jodeesss commented on the blog post Web Site Usage – New Post w/Picture Well, I have a new account, and apparently now I can post my own topics, but I cannot for life find a way to post pictures, or even pitcures, for that matter.

R&DIY at work. I love it. Leave it to windowfarmers. If you tell them there’s something they can’t do, that’s the first thing they’ll work on! Nice going, samenrahmen. We did actually grow a sweet potato plant in one of the eyebeam systems. The plant itself did really well but it just seemed to grow [...]
How do I send personal messages? Whenever I try a random member ends up in the ’to’ line totally unrelated to the person the message was intended for.
Anyway, I was trying to send you a message to suggest that windowfarms.org should start selling merch to raise money and to promote the cause. What are you thoughts?

This is so awesome. I really love the stable supporting structure. How do your net cups sit inside the bottles? Can you explain that a bit more?
