Terms of Service

I agree

Are you planning to build a windowfarm?

Yes, doing that right now. Basically because we’ve been interested in growing our own food for a while now (been helping out with ppl that know about permaculture and such), but never saw a possibility for doing so, since we only had one window to the south, which was mainly taken up by a large heater (so couldn’t put a lot on the floor, bad design of appartment) and no usable terrace. I was planning on making a small herbal hydroponic garden (with 8 tiny netpots) and have done just that. It takes up almost all of the possible floor-window space available. But just some herbs, doesn’t cut it. So … When I saw this, I was sold. :) I can hang 4 bottles underneath eachother above the heater and use that lost space! (just have to figure out which version I will implement.
