We first heard about the Windowfarms project in May of last year. The idea was to crowdsource a practical design for modular hydroponic units that hang in an apartment window, so urbanites could grow food without a proper garden. The Windowfarm community has been honing their design and you can now order a Windowfarm 3.0 kit.

All the info, including how-tos and lots of information about the kit, is at the Windowfarms site.
