Hi!
I finally built my windowfarm this weekend, and it is up in the window. However, it leaks at the bottom, and I can’t yet seem to adjust the flow. I’ve built one column, based on the version 3. My air pump does not have a dial, so I got a two way control valve, but it’s hard to adjust. I either have a steady flow of water – a lot of drips at once, or nothing at all.
The pump is a Tetra Whisper 60, and the 2-way control valve is by Marina. It’s the cheap plastic one. As for the bottom, since the products aren’t the same in the States and Canada, I had to improvise with a few different parts. But, as long as I can figure out how to make it waterproof, it should be ok.Any ideas for the air flow?
Thanks.

For Beginners: 1 year, 1 month ago · ViewHi, I have just joined this group and am planning to get started on a window farm in the next week. I’m thinking of starting with small bottles and some lettuce. I’ve noticed that the root systems are all pretty much covered with tape or some other means. Is there a reason for this or can the bottles just be left clear?
Roots like a dark place to grow in. I painted the lower part of my pots dark brown then white to be better looking. As you read about what the windowfarm members are building you understand more about this wonderful way to grow. Happy Windowfarming. Sylvia Woerner
Thank you Sylvia! I am really excited to start!
