Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I had to transfer the plants and redclaw for a third time in as many days... I think I have it right this time

A couple plumbing pics. Today is the first time both sides of the growbeds are running together. It's a great day!!!

It's amazing what good sunlight does to plants

Looks good Benny. Does the overflow in the tanks contain your SLO? If so, won't it concentrate solids in the last tank in line?
Be careful with large growers like cukes, squash, etc on the "back"(sunny) side in the beds. They'll shade out the plants on the other side. If you use them along the front(away from sun) side and string them along that side, the light will be better to rest of bed. Even then, when they get 6-7' tall, they can start blocking light in other areas of GH.

Ryan also told us that with cubrits, sometimes you have to clip the vines to the strings as they get fruit. The fruit is so heavy. it will accordion down. I never had the problem yet, as I've never had that much fruit.

Coach, I have a plan! They have a ride at Disney where they hold the melons in nets..lol, or I'll just wing it as usual. I'll write about the filter later, it's too early now. Here's a couple of cool pics

Yeah, I've seen that. Completely forgot about that. Attach the net around the fruit and then hang it from the GH. Should work. Cool pictures. Can't wait till next month so I can get started growing something besides basil and peppers, and eggplant. Been in mid 90's here. Hot and sticky...gotta love Florida in the summer.

Seen it on my strawberries in the GH last year.

Thanks for the link!!

I walk out to the greenhouse in the mornings, and I love checking out the new changes everyday..pretty awesome

It's a jungle in here!!

Trying to keep the vines on one side, and not shade out the other crops. Good idea...just don't forget them for a week. lol
Looks awesome man...pretty exciting to be eating food from the AP soon. It will taste incredible also. I'm not sure if it's because it's organic(regardless of what FDA says) or you think about how much that salad cost you , or maybe a combination of both.

Who do you have for the Open? I'm picking Federer to win his last Slam event. Logic would say Djoker, but going with my heart. Serena can't be stopped on her way to the first Grand Slam since Fraulein Forehand's back in the 80's('87??)

New growbeds!!!

Good progress today!

Peppers are rolling!
