Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

thanks guys for the encouragement,

Faye, I can wait till October for my turn to cook but will probably get thrown out if i do.

DP, looking so fine there! Much more work and you might even convince me to say it's a bit over the top!!! That trellising on the sides is very nice, and the pegs you mentioned, is this for a vertical trellis straight down the middle? or to support multiple layers of horizontal trellis (I'd use concrete rio) for the plants to grow through? either way, it's good to have the provision.
they're very nice "plastic liners" that you've got there. Didn't know Joel sold plastic liners also... maybe he needs to work on his marketing

the pegs are for vertical trellis down the center, but the horizontal option is possible. I could make them interchangable

that's some heavy duty stuff, very impressive. there need to be a summary page for these member systems... i can't go through every page to look at these pictures...

It's looking gr8 DP. When are you gonna start plantng those mammoth GB?

Crikey DP !
Got yourself some serious GB frames there.
and I thought I got carried away....

Hi All, been way busy, so not much posting, but have done a bit of tidying up around the system. I have pics and promise i will post soon.

I have been a bad APer and not posted lately

However i have done lots of work on my system

I have the second GB frame installed, and 3 of the 4 GB's installed and planted them out

i have decked between the growbeds, and got Boris01 to draw a picture on the limestone for a mosaic. THe mosaic is getting there, but is a slow process.

I am also currently installing the kitchen sink for cleaning fish

Lastly i am connecting the Low voltage lighting up so i can garden at night

pics soon i promise

Grow bed frame number two

I installed some Batu decking between the grow beds to fill the gap and provide a convenient place to put the collecting basket whilst harvesting.

This is the compost bin



This is the unfinished mosaic. Big thanks to Boris01 for drawing the design for me
