Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Don't stop posting pictures, I love seeing new pictures!

Great growth you're having.

Sorry, I don't really go for the narcissistic produce shots. Any photo I take from here on in will basically look the same since I harvest usually daily. Maybe a Loofah or Melon development shot but that's boring.

And all my other "gardening" isn't Aquaponic or Wicking-related.

It was just a thread to say Thanks to everyone who contributes to the forum and to show that even if the design isn't perfect, it can still work great.

Perhaps Winter crops and growth will be the next update. Shall be nice to have some thick Kale drooping over the edges. Maybe moving over to Backyard Farming may be more appropriate but that forum isn't super busy.

Winter update as promised.

Harvesting frequently for leaf and brocollini, one bed is in green manure (will plan rotations). Haven't watered once due to the sporadic rain events (beside fortnightly overhead seaweed application) and have lowered the levels as I don't get heaps of sun or growth due to the NE sun being heavily blocked as mentioned previously. The water capacity and wicking has been great, soil is always moist. Tested pH, it's a little low at 5.5 but growth/plant health is ok considering lack of sun:








Thanks all.

Great arent they
