Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Jerry, I love you really simple bucket version. would be very simple to scale that up to a blue barrel version I think. Just need an ant proof stand. For simple construction and easy ramp, I think the angled bucket probably beats all for simplicity. And that basic design looks to me very simple to scale up to any size barrel/bucket or trash can.

Nice design Country boy, my concern is my ramp, and the fact it is still freezing here, the ramps on wall seem to work better, but we will see

CB,
Fantastic stuff. Simple and neat! Can't wait to see the sketchup. Specially love the angled box one. Except it probably doesn't hold too much quantity of scrap.

WOW... I need to quit getting pissed while reading the forum. Thanks for pointing that out Nocky. Nice work by the way.

No worries Kell, I have to stop getting pissed when I dream up this stuff

But !

No BSF have visited the pod as yet, it smells so nice in their as well, off banana's and cabbage don't know how they could resist, must be too cold, or back to the drawing board

They are pretty quiet up here as well Nocky. We haven't had many new larvae, and the pods are sitting in the sun to get the daily warmth. I did see a fly a few days ago but I'm not expecting much action for a few more weeks yet once the temperatures warm up a little.

Any updates on the NockyPod yet Nocky ?

Nigel I am convinced there are NO! BSF in Narrogin, beautiful weather over the weekend and not a maggot, will check again today, have tempted them with AP grown POK CHOI and coles bought banana's, but to no avail, surely coles cant *frack* up banana's as well, may need faye to bring some BSF's down for the Festival

I am with you nocky....I don't recon there are BSF up here either....just big old horrible blowflies ... I hope someone sends me some larvae soon, cause the pod is just going to waiste at this rate.....I am breeding maggots....just the wrong sort

BSF like hot weather patients.

Them buggers in the middle (Perth) have rustled them up for themselves Jess
TC can't get much hotter than Onslow ATM, is in the North West of West Australia

Bummer. Glad to hear they're in Perth though - should be getting my system together around the the start of Summer - perfect timing. Possibly the only upside to having the world's slowest builder. That and that my AP system should cycle up in good time.

I have trouble keeping track of your seasons there, heck, I have trouble keeping track of the season's here too. I grew up in a place where the seasons were pretty hard to lose track of, in winter you had a meter of snow on the ground. In spring in melted. In summer it got a bit warm some years. In fall all the leaves fell and so on, was easy to keep track of. Here it is a little more like dry season and hurricane season, sometimes it gets chilly after hurricane season, otherwise it is hot and humid year round. What month these thing happen in seems to be shifting.
