[Noisebridge-discuss] noisebridge needs and herb garden.

[Ceren Ercen]

Like we've said, the roof is only residential-grade. we can't "deal" 
ourselves out of that situation. it can't stand the weight of loads of 
people, and dirt is very very heavy.

Also it's probably a bad idea, illegal, and a street-facing safety 
violation to put planters on the _fire_escape_. As much as I'd like to 
break arms of fuckwits, it's not a lounge, it's a FIRE ESCAPE.

I might suggest long window boxes stacked vertically every couple or so, 
INSIDE the windows, if we can securely bolt each side to a load-bearing 
stud?

I'd like to design solid, classy, modern boxes that stretch across the 
span of the windows without covering then up too much. A sublayer of 
water-retaining gel or one of the various arduino-controlled 
moisture-sensing setups would be good, too.
