Our Window Farm does not incorporate the use of Cable Ties but a different method
Plants and Soil will be added at a later stage once the Window Farm has been built


The attachment to the Lab’s window will be with a Heavy duty brass hook and a leather strap secured to the top of the 2x4, 1,24m Wood Pole with 4 Self-tap in wood screws.
This is our Window Farm design but with some adaptions:
Our reservoir will not be at the top but at the bottom.
We will only have one row of plants as the window space is limited.
