Well done! I think trimming the roots instead of the leaves is a good idea.

Thanks for the comments, and sorry for the long delay. I just moved to a new city. Anyway, having the water run all day wasn’t a problem for me. Before I switched to all day running, I was running 15 or 30 min every 2 hours. When I noticed the issue with the tomato leaves, [...]

Hi all, I just finished my second windowfarm, but first I will summarize last year’s windowfarm. It was based on the V2 airlift. My new system is based on the t-joint, and I’ll make another post for that system. I have nice tall windows, so I figured I would need a deep reservoir to push the [...]
