Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

About 3 weeks ago I bought some roma tomato starters from home depot. Each pot usually has 4-5 seedlings that you can seperate. I seperated them apart and put 2 into my DWC raft and planted 2 in 6" soil cup filled with a healthy organic soil mix. 3 weeks later and this is the results. There is 2 plants on the left that are in AP compared to the cup on the right soil mixture. Both plant size and root size is 3-4 times the size of the soil.
Another pic of some royal red luttuce start, 2-3 time the growth as in soil cups.
Pretty amazing to actually see it side by side.........Cory

Great photos! I am definitely excited to be able to compare my AP growth to my traditional garden this summer!

Happy growing!

My comparisons for plant growth show Hydroponics wins, Aquaponics a close second, soil based veggie patch with supplement third and without supplement a distant fourth.

However I get more enjoyment out of feeding fish than adjusting pH and nutrient solution every day or two.

How big are the net pots for the tomatoes, they seem too small. Will it OK in a month or two as long as you provide support?
