Reviving and Redesigning Windowfarms: A Sustainable Way to Grow Herbs and Vegetables in Tiny Flats Windowfarms are an exceptional and eco-friendly method for cultivating herbs and vegetables even in compact flats. Constructing them demands a bit of effort but educates a lot about plants. They're modular, scalable, and simple to upgrade, making them an excellent educational project. Since the community that developed them is no longer reachable, finding building instructions has become challenging. To address this issue, I've created an optimized version of the farm along with 3D-printable upgrades. In optimizing the design, I added a wide brim to ensure a secure hold on the next bottle. I also integrated a ridged surface for improved grip.
