What are Window Farms??

Window Farms are vertical, hydroponic, modular, low-energy, high-yield edible window gardens built using low-impact or recycled
local materials.

I saw this window farm site & I thought "What a cool idea!!" but how would it work here in Montana?? Our windows get cold in the winter & we get very little sun, could we make it work here?

See window farm website & more info HERE: http://www.windowfarms.org/

WE ARE GOING TO TRY IT THIS WINTER!! WE ARE LOOKING FOR OTHER HOUSE HOLDS TO JOIN US!
