Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Gday all,


Im not sure if i read somewhere about people wanting to grow these.

I have found a shop that sells multiple varieties of chinese brocolli (kai lan).

In regards to growing these,


I just threw a bunch of seeds into my constant flood system and now i am over run with sprouts from the following


Kailan
kang kong
wombok (chinese cabbage)


The kang kong seems to go bananas, ill get up some pics in my grow thread once i put that up, but needless to say after a week or so they are already rocketing along.

When the plants are larger i will be able to give some away if anyone is local that wants a bunch that are already established. (they arent all going to fit in my bed once i space them out)

If anyones interested give me a PM for details.

Ive got some chinese cabbage in my DWC at the moment. Never tried it but its growing fast.

Unfortunately the kang kong may die down over the winter months. You may be able to overwinter it in a warm environment but often it succumbs to the cold, if we get any this year. Great grower here in the warm months. It is a winner if you like steamed asian greens, I highly recommend it.

i just threw it in because i like the look


Im really after the snow peas and kai lan om nom nom

Om nom nom
Snow peas go alright in aquaponics? Mines cycling at the moment and has a PH of 7.5 so its good akaline for peas.

throw snow peas in there and bam in a couple of weeks they are already a foot tall...
