Window Farms

Looking at how to transform water bottles and window space into a functional garden, this video interviews NYC artists Britta Riley and Rebecca Bray about their hydroponic project called Window Farms. We check out their installation at Eyebeam where they walk us through their beautifully simple urban gardening solution.

@angryadrien No because the plan aren't directly in contact with the plastic. Instead of dirt, you use clay balls to sustain the roots. With hydroponic system, you nurrish your plants with what you decide to put in the water.

Deja Vu.

[angryadrien]

Excelent JOB.

I think it is awesome. I made something called a clock based dripper tracker that could be used to time the drip. I like the creepy music too.

There is a game called cultivation and a video about it on utube with similar but cooler music.
