Thanks to stumbleupon i ran across this, only having heard of it in the past i really never thought of it in a practical use here in my apartment. But "Window Farming" seems like a easy and great way to cut my grocery bill costs. Being mostly a vegetarian and sickened with the lack of good organic produce that are available in the supermarkets i feel that its not only a good idea to start one but a obligation to the food that ends up on my plate. It may seems like a daunting task but its really simple (with some D-I-Y experience). The real plus side of this is that you can download plans that have been tested, and made, and tinckered with for free online at http://www.windowfarms.org/. If you go the way i am you'll download the plans and make your own. It seems that doing it all myself will have more meaning to it all in the end when im eating fresh veg grown right here in my small apartment. And with the plans that you can download some of the items used are recycled so they will be free. The rest of it will be cheap from local hydroponics store and hardware stores. In total Ive spent so far $20 in seeds, but im keeping a rolling total.
However if you don't want to make your own you can always buy a kit that are also available on http://www.windowfarms.org/.
Look into it. You may be inspired to make your own, experiment, and find a new way of window farming and then share it with the community.
