Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

One beet to rule them all.

that's massive hydro,

Yes, it is surprising how large vegetative part of AP plants can grow. Fruit seems about normal (although larger quantity), but my tomatoes have grown to 3 or 4 meters, onions to 15-20cm, huge leaves on the basil, etc. Fun stuff.

And the expense of AP growbeds makes me have a small, intensive, productive space rather than a soil garden which too often becomes an extensive chaos. I've learned that lesson, somewhat, and limited soil gardens to a couple raised beds that are far easier to keep under control; great for potatoes and comparing soil and AP.

Odd carrot. Big fella, not long, but I've heard it's girth that counts not length.

even with that impressive girth o would be concerned with the lumpy nodular growths on the end

Simo, in some sectors of the animal kingdom, those nodules would appear quite phallic.

Thats what he said

Yes he did, but I think its strange/weird/wtf

What sort of attention are you trying to get Kuda

I don't know Simo, but I've recently been accused of posting 'bug porn' by EB.
Coincidence?

This is my super silverbeet, ~ 9 months old grown from seed, 1 m tall and ~80cm across, the bigger leaves are 60cm long, I trimmed half the leave the otherday and got 3.5kg. I put a section of 90mm pipe next to the "trunk" for size comparison, I think I will need to decommission the GB when it comes time to remove the plant.

That's bloody huge.......

You could thatch a house with that silverbeet!
