* I started out building gardens with manual pumps, requiring no electricity. In September 2011 I developed an automated pumping system using an arduino microcontroller and automobile window washer pump to allow for more flexibility for the gardener. | |||
Using open source hardware plans offered by the [http://windowfarms.org Windowfarms] project, I have been teaching a number of workshops which are 2-fold: first focused on a DIY urban gardening technique; and secondly geared at teaching about collaborative design practices. Aside from being a great garden setup, the Windowfarms network is a perfect example of a working and open international collaboration and the project itself is a good exercise for becoming comfortable with DIY practices and modifying materials and techniques to best suit local conditions. | Using open source hardware plans offered by the [http://windowfarms.org Windowfarms] project, I have been teaching a number of workshops which are 2-fold: first focused on a DIY urban gardening technique; and secondly geared at teaching about collaborative design practices.
