Right around the time a barrel of oil was around $150 USD I stumbled upon an article from an "expert" saying that the solution to resolve hunger was to give more money to poor countries in order to buy more tractors and more agrochemicals! So wrong! Then a thought popped into mind: " Do something! No matter what! Anything is better than nothing! ". Mission: increasing awareness of hydroponics and aquaponics as key tools in fighting hunger around the world.

Review: In a few words...one heck of a web site. I have a great respect for somebody that took the time to write more than 100 pages about his life, his tilapias adventure, how he discovered his mission in life. I read all of it! I am telling you...fascinating. If you are nterested in tilapias, Mike's site is simply a must! Rated 5, no question asked!

Goal 1
to start a Windowfarming craze in New York City and other dense urban areas, helping people grow some of their food year-round in their apartment windows.
Goal 2
give ordinary folks a means to collaborate on research and development of these vertical hydroponic food-growing curtains through the community site at our.windowfarms.org
The Windowfarms Project operates in what seems a small niche, but we hope it might be what Buckminster Fuller would call a "trim tab," a small part that turns giant ships by being particularly well placed.
Growing some of our own food is a simple pleasure that can make a big difference in our relationship with nature. As we choose nutrients to feed plants we hope to eat in turn, we gain experience with a nearly-lost fundamental human art, get a microcosmic view of the food system, develop a stake in the conversation, and come up with new ideas for how to take care of ourselves and our planet in troubled times.
Let's make this experience possible for anyone!
Review: Amazing site. DO not miss it! Show you how to grow vegetables using windows space with hydroponics. Have many videos ( how to) plus some PDF files with very DIY specific details. If this iste add value to the Internet? You bet! Hydroponics: rated 5 Overall: rated 5 Roger Pilon, Editor

Recently, gardening friend Ray Newstead, alerted me to his innovative "EarthTainer" self-watering design. Newstead could not find any commercial container growing solutions with an integrated cage sturdy enough to grow heirloom tomatoes, so he designed his own system.
Review: This site is a perfect example of adding value to the Internet and in particular, to the hydroponics world. Some people are givers and Gary Ibsen from tomatofest.com and the inventor Ray Newstead are certainly part of them. If you have been looking for a KISS hydroponics system then you have found one. Is is based on the wick system but with a unique twist! You will get 3 videos and and a set of very detailed instructions on how to build it in PDF file. Excellent! Excellent and excellent!

Hello everyone! How I got into hydroponics is a long story...let's just say that it involves a lot of tedious farm work as a child, unsuccessful 'dirt' gardens of my own and a near electrocution from a semi-submersible hydroponic pump. I've learned that hydroponic gardening is the only way to garden for me and I've been working at it for several years now. I've built ebb/flow, nft, Mittleider, wick and passive systems and I'm always on the lookout for the easiest and most efficient means of hydroponic gardening...If you have questions, I would be more than happy to answer them...
