Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here)

Last summer, my friends (Art and Heidi) and I grew heirloom vegetables on our respective rooftops in Chicago using homemade Earthboxes ®.

And we love the results.

We're trying to show what's possible using cheap, readily available components and also to learn from anyone who wants to share what they know. We're amateurs compared to the Path To Freedom people, but love their approach. Check out this ~~guy's~~ Distinguished Professor's site for some really creative, low cost ideas on how to grow plants in containers.

If you've got any ideas you want to share about growing food in the city let us know. Also we're trying to figure out how to automate the watering of all those tubs on my garage roof. We're close to a solution involving a Hudson valve and some poly tubing.

If you want to make these boxes yourself, check out my rooftop garden set.
