So I have been checking out this DIY for window farming for a couple months now and finally decided to give it a try. I made this whole system in one day. But it literally took me the whole day... About 12 hours to gather all the materials, sit in traffic, and go home and construct this thing. Not to mention crochet the little cozies to go with it.
I planted from top to bottom: Strawberries, Sweet Basil, Sweet Marjoram, Cucumbers
Detailed instructions for this DIY can be found here: http://our.windowfarms.org/
But you will probably have to register with their wordpress to get the full set of directions and parts list.
Overall, this was a really fun project and I can't wait to make a few more columns!
