Key insights about video Indoor Gardening

🌱 Growing your own food is one of the best things you can do for the environment and it's also really fun to have a window farm in your apartment.

🌱 Window farms are vertical hydroponic systems that allow you to grow up to 25 vegetable plants in a normal apartment window.

🌱 They not only provide environmental and nutritional benefits, but also make the air in your apartment fresher and create a lush green view.

🌱 Building a window farm is easy and takes about an hour, and it will cost you around $35 to assemble the system and buy all the materials.

🌱 The system uses an airlift system to filter water through the roots of each plant, creating a continuous flow of water from the reservoir.

🌱 The bok choy and butter crunch lettuce grown in the window farm taste amazing, with a buttery, crunchy, and flavorful texture.

🌱 The window farm project is open to the community, encouraging people to build their own window farms and experiment with different plants and nutrients.
