Hi! A few people have asked me to give instructions on how I built my urban garden, Window Farm, Bottle Garden so I thought I would do a how to video, When I built mine there were some videos online but most of them skipped the detail required and none of the showed to connect the air pump, if you want to skip to that part is starts at 18:28​ I do my garden hydroponically these days using a 3 part flora series nutrient mix. But I believe it will work with soil plants given the precautions I mentioned in the video. I have successfully grown Broccoli, many types of lettuce, pepper, herbs, tomatoes, strawberries and spinach in my urban garden. Let me know what you put in yours? For those who know the history, its loosely based on the windowfarm.ord version 3.0 with some tweaks. I hope you find this useful, please let me know if you have any questions in the comments and I’ll go my best to explain further. Cheers Pete The following items are what I bought to build my system the rest was made with things I already had in the house, Please note the links are for the UK: Fish Tank air pump variable 4W 2 ports with accessories: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...​ 6m of 4mm black tubing: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...​ Extra 1-way valves: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...​ Extra T junctions: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...​ Hardwater Flora series: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...​ Softwater Flora Series https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...​ Other things you’ll need: Empty plastic bottles at least 1L in size: Pots for your plants that will fit nicely in the neck of the above bottles.

Feminist thinker and historian of science Donna Haraway is perhaps best known as the author of two revolutionary works: the essay "A Cyborg Manifesto" and the book Primate Visions. Both set out to upend well-established "common sense" categories: breaking down the boundaries among humans, animals, and machines while challenging gender essentialism and questioning the underlying assumptions of humanity’s fascination with primates through a post-colonial lens. DONNA HARAWAY: STORY TELLING FOR EARTHLY SURVIVAL features Haraway in a playful and engaging exploration of her life, influences, and ideas. Haraway is a passionate and discursive storyteller, and the film is structured around a series of discussions held in the California home she helped build by hand, on subjects including the capitalism and the anthropocene (a term she "uses but finds troubling"), science fiction writing as philosophical text, unconventional marital and sexual partnerships, the role of Catholicism in her upbringing, humans and dogs, the suppression of women’s writing, the surprisingly fascinating history of orthodontic aesthetics, and the need for new post-colonial and post-patriarchal narratives. It is a remarkably impressive range, from a thinker with a nimble and curious mind. Haraway and filmmaker Fabrizio Terranova (who we hear but don't see) are clearly at ease with each other, giving the conversations—which are punctuated by images of artwork and quirky animation—a casual, intimate feel. Terranova makes playful use of green screens to illustrate Haraway's words, or to comment on them. As Haraway discusses storytelling, we see an image of her in the background, writing. When the conversation turns to her own unorthodox personal relationships and the oppressive power of heteronormativity, the redwoods out her window are replaced by a crisp suburban street. Underwater invertebrates, one of Haraway’s fascinations, float by in the background of a room. DONNA HARAWAY: STORY TELLING FOR EARTHLY SURVIVAL is a clever and insightful glimpse into the thought of a major contemporary figure.
