Create your own hydroponic window farm
If I didn’t have a big house blocking my southern exposed window, otherwise I would have completely tried this myself. The basic idea is to take come recycled plastic bottles, use an air pump and some tubing to create an air water pump to push the nutrients to the top and gravity takes care of the rest.
The great part of this is that it is an open design community making and sharing new innovations as they are discovered. Here are the complete instructions of the most recent (version 3) of their system. They also offer a complete kit, you just have to provide the recycled bottles.

I came across this website a few months ago and LOVED the idea! Even though we have cold-frames I thinking of trying it out just because it looks so cool.

This is cool, but I so don’t have the room for this!

This is an amazing idea. I am about to move to a house where I will have full access to sunny windows and plenty of garage space for trying out some of your other indoor growing projects. Thanks for the site
