Oh man that is soooo cool! I grew up on a very large farm where we were always self-sufficient like this, but we had a lot of resources that urban dwellers do not. This is very pleasing, because cultivation like this is very rewarding for the spirit. I think we are on to a new revolution, and it makes me happy, because a lot of farms in operation have been beaten down my consumers and corporate institutions. I think it will just get better and better

Very cool. I wish I’d had that when I lived in a little appartment. More power to ‘em.

That’s an awesome idea! While it may not appeal to those of us with actual soil to work, it is a perfect door-opening experience to “grow your own.” Some people may go whole hog and decide to work for NASA, while others decide to quit the concrete jungle and look for a more sustainable way of life. Lots and lots of possibilities and it makes me happy to see collaboration.

To put out this effort with the amount of space and conditions is inspiring. I have a large yard, large garden, and lots of local produce available April-November. But seeing people work hard in more difficult situations shames me to do better with what I produce for myself, what I view as possible or too difficult.

I should think that will work pretty well in a sunny window. Maybe for the eco-conscious it’s worth looking at my website (www.rainwatergardening.com) – there’s pumps there that use sunshine for power, and whereas they are designed to pump water, they will pump air too.
