I’m just getting set up (no growing experience yet), but am wondering how you deal with your window farms when you’re away for longer periods of time. My plants should obviously survive that three week trip to Fiji (I wish…), and my kitchen floor shouldn’t be soaked either. Here’s where I see the most likely [...]

I built my Windowfarm 2 weeks ago, I started from seeds and the plants have grown very well! I did some things differently, I simplified the reservoir bottle cap and improved a bit on the way the inflation needle sits in the water tube to make it more stable and to not let the air [...]

I’m here to look around for ideas and tools for a group called Zeitgeist Toronto. We seek to popularize the idea of furthering the use of patient science and quality, modern technologyin our environment and social sustainability on Earth. It’s a non-politcal group with the aim of creating a society of systems and values that [...]

First post! We (me, roommate, and boyfriend)  just started our “research and design phase” of this little project. Perhaps foolishly, we’re kind of running off track of the community. We want to use piping (PVC for lack of a better idea) to hold the water and plants. I see this isn’t a totally new idea [...]

  Some important points about my set up: – I tried sealing the silicon tube through the bottle cap with some sealant used for the bathroom, but it’s quite fidgity, and still had some leaks, in the end used a LOW TEMPERATURE glue gun to seal the tube, and had no leaks! – I had [...]

Hey I am in the uk. I h e been looking at the online shops at nutrients and I don’t know which one to buy. There are so many choices. I intend on growing chillies, mint and lanvender. Any help is much appreciated. Thankyou Brendan

Hallo zusammen! Note to english speakers: I’m writing this in German as its very localized information (translations and distributors). Ich hatte auch mit guten Englischkenntnissen Probleme, die Begriffe auf der Parts List nachzuvollziehen, und in Deutschland ausfindig zu machen. Damit andere von meiner Recherche profitieren können, schreibe ich mal eine ungefähre Einkaufsliste zusammen. Das Setup [...]

The pH value of the water in my 9L reservoir keeps rising. A few times per day i measure the pH (with the cheapest pH meter i could find), find it somewhere between 7 and 8 and put in a sip of natural vinegar (not distilled i think) to get it back between 5.7 or [...]

I posted earlier about designing a prettier window farm. I’m building a clean and simple single column farm. The construction itself is pretty much complete, but the plants are still missing. I made a nice discovery related to the bottom reservoir. In case you’re using a bottle and are having trouble getting the cap water tight, worry [...]

Hello Everyone, I am new to this site and have built my window farm from the 3.0 instructions with some alterations due to some materials being very hard to find here in Israel and also some improvements. I will add a post on what I did and how it looks now when I have more [...]
