Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Not to mention you are about 2 mins down the road in the suburb I grew up in. Did you know that pond is full of yabbies?

Nope cant see past the green lol

We have only been here 2 years. Not a bad little spot considering im from kelmscott

Duckweed apparently

This lake is right next to where the landfill site is and if FULL of heavy metals. Avoid.

At the cos building?

Yeah man, very toxic. You can imagine all the heavy metals from the batteries, electronic equipment etc that was dump there for years and years. I may have found a new yabbie spot a lot closer to home. Gonna test it on the weekend but I know there are yabbies in the old Ballajura lakes near Illawarra Primary as we used to catch them there as kids

The only thing that made me think it was reasonably safe was the overabundance of frogs there. Its almost deafening at night.
I have been thinking about checking out the infamous lakes after hearing about koi, giant goldfish and bunyips living there. Now the chance of yabbies too im unfortunately going to have to take a stroll with a torch and a handfull of chook pellets now.

Anyone around the perth hills area (mundaring) that could share some duckweed with me ?

Shouldn't be hard to find SF - check any of the water bodies around the place.

I've seen it at Lake Leschenaultia and I regularly pick some up from the little lakes/ponds scattered throughout Belmont when I'm passing through.

We have some here in Jandakot

ah ok i am working a few streets away from there next week will check it out if not will annoy you faye for some

thanks for the info

No worries, warning, it may come with tadpole oops.
