Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

we have trained our new puppy to do his business under the citrus trees. they've never looked better. should i be worried if he goes too often in the one spot about it killing a tree? he's not going to grow much more since he's only a small breed of dog.

Hi Timmy
Citrus usually needs a heavy N fertiliser so it should be ok with the puppy pee

heh , I read the thread title and started to wonder how you would teach the puppies to swim ...

I thought you were going to say you trained the dog to use a toilet flushed into a bio filter

i probably could train him to do that. he's proven to be very smart.
I still think it's a shame there's no human run system. with the N rich waste we produce your only challange would be growing enough plants to cope.
a septic tank sized bio filter should do it, give the waste water enough time to process before it's run into the system, and run it through a dwc setup.
