Growing a garden in your window

Friday, May 28, 2010

All you need is a window, and not for planting window boxes either. This is really quite unique, you don't even need soil to grow berries, lettuce, and even beans.

On a warm day you can mix up a pitcher of mine lemonade with some of the ingredients right from your window.

You have to set up what's called a window farm. A hydroponic contraption that basically force feeds plants water and nutrients.

Everything is done out of plastic bottles from the recycling bin. You also have to get some supplies from the hardware store, and add nutrients and water.

You just need a window with good light, and a little electricity to pump the water.
