I just walked the few metres to gather a salad.

Has anyone yet coined the phrase "food metres" ?

If not, I claim it in the name of Aquaponics :)

if so, oops sorry :(

I think having your "most used" food source close to you kitchen/cooking area is an important aspect of AP design and one that is often overlooked.

my plan was always to use my fist (and so far only) test system as a fish nursery / herb garden at my kitchen door, and put the bigger (currently in progress) chift pist system a a bit further away for the sunlight it would get. The problem is, my herbs aren't doing so well. I read in a garden book somewhere that herbs tend to like undernourishment.

Can depend on the herb, some herbs love heavy feeding.
