Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

By the look of that back yard it must be almost time to burn the lawn (or have you purchased another lawnmower since dispatching the previous one... )

Mmmm gooey cold fish poo...

We are a strange breed aren't we
When it is almost dry it is almost rubbery... and when dry makes a rather fine dust... and potplants seem to appreciate it too

And the taste is quite alluring don't you think?

real men dont wear gloves

what a difference 10 days makes

Do you think you would have had the same clogging issues if you had of avoided mint?

Or do you think it was simply the suspended solids from the fish that did all the clogging?

How many trout did you have feeding that growbed in the end (I'm not up for re-reading the thread)?

Bit disappointed you didn't take any photos with your feet in them, I thought that was the rule

I get exempt form rules............oh the corruption.........

Yep, growbed was clogged before the mint. Mint was put in there as a nutrient sink that would grow rampantly year round and didnt mind the clogged conditions.

Over the life of the bed it has grown 40 odd trout to around 600g, plus this years lot of trout, plus maybe 10 jades to 600g plus another 100 odd fish to differing sub-platesizes
