Hey guys. For anyone interested here is my system 9 months on. We have had some success and some failures but overall it's been great. It took about 2 months to cycle. We had 25 trout all grow to 30cm within 5 months aside from 2 who unfortunately didn't make it. We have had loads of leafy greens, cauliflowers and beetroot has been the stand out performer with some massive beets!

Some of the carrots in the pics were from the garden but they were of similar size in the AP but perhaps not quite as successful. I understand too much nutrient for carrots is a bad thing as they will simply grow leaves and not the root?

Image the combination of spring and the trout eating massive amounts of feed meant the plants rocketed!

Well done, Matt, that is impressive! Some of your vegies are sensational. I especially like the look of your beetroot and will definitely be giving them a try.

Looks great - Are you still growing cauliflowers in Jan? Thought it may be too hot. Did you ever put up wind/shade shelter?

Cheers
Matt
