Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Not necessarily a cow ,, goat , maybe sheep or UMM , ooops family forum:) Human milk is good

This is a plant that is amazingly adaptable to very close cropping as a cash crop in places. Heavy pruning prevents it shooting to tree size to maximise leaf production. One bed used for Moringa alone - to adjust to specific water needs - would provide the nutrients sought in a single plant.

For those really interested in pursuing Moringa for AP this research study may be of interest....



Cyra ,, I LOVE Moringa and have previously pushed it on this form,,,so much so people started calling me Mr Moringa:)
I grow it on my farm in Thailand , it replaces about 30% of the Tilapia feed , around 40% of the cattle feed and near half of the pig feed ( Chickens just don't seem to like it but I add some extract into their water)
The PROBLEM with Moringa is it contains the exact nutrients that tend to be missing in Aquaponics,, Iron / calcium etc. For that reason I believe it ios better grown in a seperate dirt or hydro system and harvested then ADDED to the aquaponics system.
AEither add as fish feed and /or a foliar spray,..... studies show many many crops grow up to 25% faster when sprayed with Morings extract(watered down)
