Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

There is a commercial grower near us that absolutely loves a similar method. They always seem to have excellent crops.

Basically packs heaps more plants into the green house.

They have a bunch of channels running the length of green house, made simply from pond liner, or similar, nailed to garden stakes. The channels are the width and height of the pots/growbags they use. They raise the seedlings elsewhere in plastic growbags (pots), then just cary them in, and plonk them in the channels.

I suspect they run a constant or timed trickle of nutrient rich water into the channels. The setup looks really unprofessional, but the results are extremely professional.

The only thing I don't like about it is, that at the end of a crop, you see a massive pile of waste growbags and potting mix being dumbed on fit he's next to the greenhouse. The clean it up from time to time, but that is still a lot is waste plastic in landfill.

DrLuke, Sounds like an interesting idea and easy for them to pull off. I've never been a big fan of repotting
