Reflections - Stocking of Plants and Window Farm

Our choice of plants was very clever in that we chose three different plants; Rocket, Coriander and Fennel. In the given environment of Lab B4 there are different abiotic factors which influence the growth of our plants, the one side of the lab receives a lot of sunlight and the other little sunlight. We chose the sunny side.

Our Window Farm is a sustainable farm in the window sill. If features a pump with complicated clear irrigation tubing running through the whole system to provide an effective watering system. The elegant design of securing the a water bottles from behind eliminates the chance of the bottles slipping down and provides a sturdier product.

My overall understanding for food security has grown over the past term, the window farm has taught me, we can introduce these effective farming methods which require limited space and are easy to build. Food security can be improved by growing plants which you can eat which we have done in our Window Farm
