Think you can't garden because you're in an apartment? Check out this very cool idea called "Window Farms" It started in New York with some innovative urban gardeners who were looking for a cost effective way to have greens all year long. The primary materials are: re-purposed 1 liter pop bottles, some tubing and a small pump. Works best for various kinds of lettuces, herbs etc.
 
We hope to experiment with this soon and if successful, offer a workshop on this concept over the summer. Check out the website below.
