Hello! Yesterday I attended Do Tank’s Urban Agriculture workshop in Williamsburg with my girlfriend. We downloaded the WindowFarm Version 3.0 instructions and today we’re setting out to get started.
We decided to start our seedlings from scratch to prevent bringing any unwanted critters into our apartment. We found a local florist/garden shop in Williamsburg that sells heirloom seeds; we’re heading there today to buy some.
I’ve seen a hydroponic store off the LI Expressway in Queens, so tomorrow I will stop there to pick up some of the supplies for our windowgarden. As far as bottles are concerned, we hope to raid our building’s recycling early tomorrow morning (with the help of the building’s Porter).
We also plan to start composting in our apartment, but we need some worms first. We are both very excited about doing something to help reducing our impact on the city and the planet!
