http://www.ted.com Britta Riley wanted to grow her own food (in her tiny apartment). So she and her friends developed a system for growing plants in discarded plastic bottles — researching, testing and tweaking the system using social media, trying many variations at once and quickly arriving at the optimal system. Call it distributed DIY. And the results? Delicious.

patents? really?
these principles have been around since the egyptians. nothing remotely new here. i like the fact that your promoting what is a wonderful form of agriculture but its poor to call it pioneering when theres such a long history with these methods and frankly quite ignorant.?
Building various hydroponic systems – both off and on grid – is very easy, fun and affordable. If any of you out there are on the fence, go for it!?
oh man. Love this idea, though, wading through all the hipster-leftwing-anticapitalistic
That was irritable.?
People really need to rely on themselves to produce their food because that's one step closer to freedom.?
Amazing good job this is how we take back our health and STOP monSATAN and their toxic GMO!?
I teach people How To Grow Food in Small Spaces and my goal has always been to reach as many as I can. Microgreens are one of the fastest nutrient dense crops that anyone can grow at home, actually they grow awesome in windows, apartments, indoors and lots places.
Check it out over at Marty's Garden now to learn from me!?
This is great.I have families in the States that are doing window farm. I do balcony and outside raise bed. Anyone can do it. If I can do it from a wheelchair you can do it too. Happy gardening.?
anyone who wants to become a company like monsanto, is not helping anything, only trying to profit. this is a bunch of b.s. people should grow there own food and learn to be self sufficient but not by supporting any corporations.?
So where is the R&DIY homepage??
