One of its primary merits is that the EarthTainer holds 10 gallons of water and can go several days before needing replenishment. Also, no water is wasted, as it is a self contained, closed loop "eco-system" that most efficiently uses precious water. And it is a system that is easy to build and replicate for little cost.
Windowfarms are suspended, hydroponic, modular, low-energy, high-yield edible food gardens built using low-impact or recycled local materials. To learn more about The Windowfarms Project, see windowfarms.org.
My own inspiration for trying out a garden this spring, or at least some random assemblage of plants, is simple: I just bought a house, I love food, and I want to keep up with the Jonses. Growing and gardening can take place anywhere, though, and for many reasons. You could launch a small project from an urban apartment window, or scatter seeds across a field with the hopes of eating cheaper and fresher. Trent at the Get Rich Slowly blog tracked his costs, time, and other data from he and his wife's year-long gardening project, and found the intake very much worth the output. Read on for some starter ideas that apply to any level of expertise.
