A garden in my apartment | Britta Riley
Tips, Tricks
http://www.ted.com Britta Riley wanted to grow her own food (in her tiny apartment). So she and her friends developed a system for growing plants in discarded plastic bottles -- researching, testing and tweaking the system using social media, trying many variations at once and quickly arriving at the optimal system. Call it distributed DIY. And the results? Delicious.

Britta Riley's Kickstarter was a scam. I donated over $100 for a window farm and she hasn't delivered to myself, nor has she delivered to HUNDREDS of international backers.
Shameful -
People power doesn't lie within what you can force the government, or anyone else do, it lies within what YOU can do.

Look at all those wires on her back. She's a ROBOT!
-
And really, no one suggested to use milk bottles instead of PET plastic? :/

Honestly you can do this without the pumping systems or anything powered. You can easily water indoor window farmers manually. You just need to know what you need nutrient wise.
-
Where can we find the water pump? Or how can we make a water pump and how to use it?
-

Where is she now? You can't find her on the internet at all! No news about what she did with the fund raiser money also.

What if you have no electric for the pump to work then what?

I also have a limited space and vertical gardening save a lot of space and budget wise all of my vegetables and herbs consumption came to my garden, a lot of savings in my pocket and always eat fresh. I have my compose bin, and saved me a lot, buying garden fertilizer are also expensive, using organic compose yield twice of the harvest. Gardening is so rewarding. Yes, hydroponic is also an options and this is an excellent idea for people with limited space. Post more videos about hydroponic. Thank you in sharing
