Hi Carlisa,

I do not know of any small space hydroponic systems of the type you want that are available off the shelf.

However, if you are interested in making your own system to the size that you want, please send me an email to the address below. You might have to find a handyman to help you with some parts of its construction.

this is a simple air pump driven device i designed for my college dorm room:

and heres a more elaborate top-drip:

this ones a little big for a window sill but still do-able on a counter top-

i will say that tiny hydro systems are difficult to maintain and as much as i love hydro, for a window sill, dirt may be better. thats my two pennies.

good luck.

Have you considered semi-hydroponics?

The aerogarden seems to be the kind of thing you might be looking for. You buy it all put together and then just add seed pods. I bought one a month ago and it is pretty fun. You could run it without the light if it is near a window, I guess.

I just bought an used Aerogrow no seed pods . I plan to use it this winter. The simplest solution is to find the smallest bucket with a lid. Two inch plastic net pot ,Rooter Plug,seed starter heat mat. Organic Nutrients ,35w light bulb (color blue and red) to help it grow .Here's a photo:

I 'm growing micro tom tomatoes, they produce tiny cherry tomatoes and grow 6" tall. I used General Hydroponics Flora solutions . I was afraid to eat them. So I gave the tomatoes to the bird. Bird still alive. Just bottle water , nutrients and a heat mat to keep the water warm. hope this helps.
