Description

Wij willen onze eigen versie van dit project creeêren: http://www.ted.com/talks/britta_riley_a_garden_in_my_apartment.html met als doel in een appartement groenten te kweken en informatie te delen.

Het idee is niet enkel beperkt tot de hydroponische cultuur, maar rond elk idee samen te werken dat binnen groenten kweken bevordert, en waarvoor je enthousiast genoeg bent.Kweken en delen! schrijf in je moedertaal als je wil, of in het Nederlands

Goals

Het voornaamste doel is mensen te helpen met het opstarten van het kweken van eigen groenten in hun appartement,met aandacht voor de technieken die weinig ruimte behoeven.

• Create a network of apartment gardeners to
  • Easily find apartment gardeners near you
  • Find resources to help people to start their own apartment garden
  • Find tools they can borrow to start their own garden (create a "starter kit")
• Find networks, associations, people that can provide the needed tools, seeds, nutriments... events where you can find them
• Assemble an online library with useful websites, how-to's, tutorials, recipes for nutriments, compost...
