Thankyou ROZ,

11th march

Wake up everybody time to throw some seeds around

Here's one for you some time ago I planted carrots they have been up for a while now and they are about an inch high, this arvo I went to check how the system is going and noticed bunches of new carrots springing up from the seed that had not started earlier

just throwing the cat amongst the pigeons... do you think the moon cycle would really have an effect in an aquaponics system that already has water pumping into its roots all day???

A carrot(s) 'whos time had come'
I don't have any more space until the bok choi comes out.
The tommies are on their last legs and need to be cut back
and may reshoot again if lucky...remove the deadwood
...but everythng else has a space to grow into
where are those new beds

others will find harvest a good time
and seed saving soon

embi - yes

Ok I'll go with that and look into it.

Are we full moon yet. I thought I saw it between clouds, was hard to tell.

8.55GMT

I threw in some carrot seeds... (shrug was planning to do it late anyway) this morning. And I repotted a lot of my pot plants they're gonna be so happy.

The opposite actually, its been too cold, so most my pumping is during the day. Was down to 18 deg c water temp for a few days.

Just checked the moon calender and saw 9 good days of fishing, time to prepare soil do not sow seed or plant.
Huh this seemed to contradict what I thought about the full moon cycle. Checked with Joel and found I looked at the no moon. Full black instead of full white circle.
Planting has been revised as follows - 5 days of poor fishing and ideal for sowing sprouts such as alfalfa, mung beans wheat grass etc. Quick germination with rapid growth spurt though only for a short period. Avoid planting other crops as growth will be weak and spindly. 11th and 12th May are the days to sow all root crops such as beetroot, carrots, potatoes, onions and peanuts. Spray for bugs, weeds and disease.
