DOUBLE YOUR HOME GARDEN in a few weeks: A fantastic reminder from Design*Sponge that gardening should be neither expensive nor complicated. Simplify & multiply. Just pluck a bunch of “samplings” from your current houseplants and stick ‘em in glasses, old jelly jars, beakers, what-have-you until roots sprout. Just keep potted plants out of the bedrooms, and keep all succulents/cacti out of the house (they are dangerous and onerous and look “petrified”…!) xx
Astrid Krogh is a designer who experiments with LEDs, fiber optics and solar cells in textiles. Knowing the vast amount of light that windows receive, she designed a prototype for curtains made of woven of solar cell plates. They collect energy to generate power, block sunlight, and also, according to Krogh, act as a passive heat collector.
