Window Farms
Part of my new year resolution is to become more self sufficient and to create a more sustainable home and yard. In the midst of doing some research I came across Window Farms. I won’t go into details of how it works. I’ll let the video above explain it.
As fresh foods become more expensive and harder to get we must start learning how to grow our own. We must become less dependent on others. The Window Farm system allows even people living deep in the city to grow their own vegetables and it’s only the beginning. I look forward to more research being done on this concept and other indoor growing systems. This would be a great option for people living in food deserts. The community surrounding this project is amazing. They have highly detailed step by step instructions on how to create your own system for around $35. They also recently started selling a specially designed kit thanks to receiving more than enough funding from KickStarter ( you gotta love KickStater =) ).
So get started. Watch the videos, read the community blog and get growing your own Window Farm. It doesn’t take much to start becoming more self sufficient.
