@EmilevanRinsum It seems, that 1450 € for a 2 day #UrbanAG Workshop means NO business: "due to lack of reservations..." wbs.wur.nl/NL/Cursussen+e… about 15 hours ago via web in reply to EmilevanRinsum
@d_akkers Pictures! They´d say more than 1000 (translated) words - Since the roof stays invisible for most passing people. Maybe a webcam ? 4:37 AM Jun 3rd via web in reply to d_akkers
PET bottles in most countries aren´t rigid enough for use in "Sub Irrigated Planters". You may use drain pipes instead: twitter.com/SchwarmFarmer/… 4:06 AM Jun 3rd via web
@VerticalVeg While exploring "Proeftuin" garden, I was invited for coffee. So I improvised a little session for them :) twitter.com/SchwarmFarmer/… 3:43 AM Jun 3rd via web in reply to VerticalVeg
@VerticalVeg Success & Enjoy ! Maybe the Queen might pop in too, if it gets to wet for her outside official duties ? 2:58 AM Jun 3rd via web in reply to VerticalVeg
Now everyone can find out more about @d_akkers,"the first rooftopfarm in the Netherlands": dakakkers.nl/index.php?onde… 7:32 AM Jun 1st via Seesmic
@VerticalVeg Have fun with your workshops at GreenFair this weekend! (I did a "Selfwatering Container" session in Rotterdam this morning :-) 7:21 AM Jun 1st via Seesmic
My welcome to Rotterdam yesterday: A HUGE traffic jam :-( and a terrace garden in front of my appartment :-) twitpic.com/9rm6m1 7:14 AM Jun 1st via Seesmic
@d_akkers Yes, lettuce doesn't like the current heat (especially on rooftops). Shading nets worked well last year: twitpic.com/9r93my 4:12 AM May 31st via Seesmic in reply to d_akkers
Here you go: a pic of my 8cm radishes - tender like butter & not hot at all :-) #believemenow? twitpic.com/9r8tsn 3:41 AM May 31st via Seesmic
@foodfromthesky @d_akkers It´s a photovoltaic rain water irrigation system. Filippo (of potage-toit) would surely share the details. 10:42 AM May 29th via web
@foodfromthesky @d_akkers I came across this rooftop farm irrigation system in Brussels: 4.bp.blogspot.com/-1Yu8l8kOcjE/T… (via potage-toit.blogspot.de ) 10:33 AM May 29th via web in reply to foodfromthesky
@Capital_Growth It will take another week until I may have time to sort them through. Will let you know! #Photos #TrainTheTrainer 2:12 AM May 29th via Seesmic in reply to Capital_Growth
@d_akkers Don't worry. I checked the weather: from next friday on, it will be raining in Rotterdam (exactly, when I'm there, of course :-s) 1:36 PM May 28th via Seesmic in reply to d_akkers
@d_akkers I just visited some gardens & farms in London - they ALL have to water by hand now. Because of a drought, tap-hoses are forbidden! 1:31 PM May 28th via Seesmic in reply to d_akkers
But don't go there! You will be lost in time over all their miracles... and you will miss your flight back home, like I did :-s #CamleyPark 1:24 PM May 28th via Seesmic
Did you know? There's a secret veg garden in Camley Street Natural Park, hidden between St. Pancras & Kings Cross! twitpic.com/9qdsdq 1:16 PM May 28th via Seesmic
@VerticalVeg And it was great to learn from you, Alex & all the others the last 2 days! Don't forget to request your book! :-) 12:54 PM May 27th via Seesmic in reply to VerticalVeg
@VerticalVeg Hey Mark, I think this Link might be great to share with everyone: tinyurl.com/d93j6v5 - loads of examples & ideas #SIP! 11:44 AM May 26th via Seesmic
