Interesting Pachube Feed: Parsons Urban Dyeing Roof Garden*

This Pachube feed is from New York City, "Victoria Marshall's Outdoor Garden. Corner of Located at 9th floor, 66 5th Ave (near 13th St)" [1].

It is no surprise, but still interesting that an outdoor garden on top of an building can tell us about the city and its social habits. When looking at the "noise" feed, we see that there are specific spikes in the morning, noon and afternoon. Is this due to peak hour traffic? Or is it much more local, such as scheduled times for tending to the garden?
