  • How about using the water from a fishtank. The fish poo can be used as fertilizer. Since you don't use soil it can work. And you don't have to buy fertilizer. What I don't know is hom much fertilizer/poo the fish produce. And if the plants need some extra nutrients besides that. You could go even further and compost the plants when they are no longer productive. Et voila you've created compost out of nothing ^^ It could work in a space station.

  • One problem about this being "Green" ....electricity

  • Tilapia! I live in Idaho and we are working on apt sized aquaponics systems, Led Prince on FB is developing solar powered grow lights. Vermiculture would also help with you nutrient needs by providing you with worm castings for compost tea, lose the bottled nutrients! Between the fish and the worms and some other cool little tricks you could 100% organic and independent... Thanks for sharing and working to be free!

  • yo quiero

    

  • Put a 20 gal fish tank with some gold fish and go aquaponics.

  • @deadlyyellowrose Depends on where the electricity comes from! I live in Sweden and have a contract with my electricity provider that makes sure the same amount I use is produced by wind and water as power sources. The development of alternative electricity resources is very active and worth investing in.

  • @deadlyyellowrose <.< solar panels would alleviate your purposed downfall 

  • a very very good inspirational idea WOW keep it up.. good work

  • this is amazing.. truly inspirational

  • @t4paN Edit: not "Transfer" them as in take them out and transfer them, more like create new ones based on the same/similar seeds. They don't seem to require too much space anyway.

  • Is it possible to use window farming for chilli peppers? I have a few different "species" of chillies in different small pots and I was wondering if I can transfer them to a windowfarm since the weather is now officially too cold to keep having them in my balcony outside.
