Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

You are correct the amount of feed to amount square meter of canopy area, I all ways use the 2 : 1 but I also find it lacking.

Lets use 100g of fish feed for 1m2 of lettuce. Taken from here ag.arizona.edu/.../Water%20Quality%20in%20Aquaponic%20Systems%20-...

So ...........

Total feed for stocking weight=1983kgs/220 days=540kgs/60 days
From then on you must add 674kg/ 60 days

I will use 60 days as a lettuce crop. So i need 674m2 or about (4) 300 ×8 grow beds

Is this working?

Wrong numbers I used I should of used 540kgs= 24 by 24 size canopy.


Or 3 eight foot wide by 23 long grow beds, I am thinking about using lime trees. Has any one done this before?

When dun......... this looks like green akers system.
