Re: Showus ya Vegie garden
My little aquaponics system and some cherry tomatoes. the tomato plant is growing totally in water. ie no dirt or grow media. Just roots in a tub full of fish. The tomato grows through a half a metre of 90mm PVC before it sees sunlight on the outside of the growhouse because there's not enough room in there for tomatoes in summer. I'm planning an epic solar powered adventure down the mightly murray river as soon as I get organised, and this bunch of tomato plants will be one of my sources of salad. It's easy to transplant something from a fishtank into the Murray without disturbing roots

Last Summers Garden in Virginia, tomatos, pole beans, beets, Sweet Corn, Cucumber and Melon!
This years garden on 1/8 acre in Las Vegas! 2 tomatos, 2 Bell Peppers, and one cucumber!
I guess 200 acres (not sure if you all go by hectares? 81) does make a difference!

We are in a rental. One of the best things about aquaponics is that you can do it on concrete and there's no need to dig up any lawn or garden space.
And the fish.
The fish are pretty cool as well. It's nice to be a protein farmer in a rental back yard

A bit tight for space in my courtyard so I built this for herbs etc. Works great!

Was that to me?Busio90 wrote:Love to have an aquaponics setup one day! Do you stock any fish?

I'll answer anyway
I stock silver perch, but a lot of people stock trout over winter and barramundi over summer. If you buy them as fingerlings you can grow them to plate size (around 500g) so you see two harvests a year.
I'm not sure on the rules for links here, so PM me and I'll link you to some decent free information (not affiliated with me in any way)

Re: Showus ya Vegie garden
i find that a little disturbing.
Re: Showus ya Vegie garden
Yes she has not been too successful with the naked look.
I tried her with some cloth a couple of years back but she was still not good at scaring birds of.
What is really disturbing is when I forget about her and walk into her in the dark.
