Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I saw his videos a while back and forgot to subscribe, had other stuff on at the time.
Gonna re-post the link in the commercial section, see what others think.
Sizeable investment, will be interesting to see how they get on.

My district (Ampor อำเภอ) Panthong พานทอง has a lot of brick factories, I think it's largest brick source in Thailand. But the broken brick are more expensive than gravel( I bought 1-2 ton 400Baht, Gravel 130-150Bht/ton)
Gravel is better by price, size and availability.

Orchids are amazing!!! And I love how well organized the dirt garden is!

have you started building the system that you put the sketchup design up of? looks like a monster! would love to see it :] Hope you're well!

kind of unrelated, but i heard its great to be a bodybuilder if you live in thailand, if you know what i mean...

Any truth to that?

how easy is it for americans to just up and relocate to Thailand? is getting white collar jobs there tough for ex-pats?

Any recent updates Dui ?
Looking forward to seeing how things have progressed

SV,
Nothing to report, got involved in 2 business opportunities so the AP had to go on hold.
All the Tilapia are alive and kicking, but all the Koi died.
Water got too hot for them, been a hot summer in Thailand.

Thanks for asking man, hope to get back into it later in the year, but for now, crazy busy with other stuff!

Dui

Nice to hear from you Dui...

well good luck with the opportunities, hope it goes well and you become filthy rich

I have been wondering over the last few months where you got too. Good to see AP is still on the cards in the future

Thanks guys.
It's a bit frustrating really, most of the hard work for the expansion has been done.
It mostly just needs connecting up.
Cooler weather is just around the corner in Chiang Mai, so hopefully it'll get done soon.

I could just pay someone to finish it off, but I kinda fell out with my gardener/helper.
Surprisingly it's very hard to find casual labour in Thailand, and about impossible to find reliable casual labour.

Hi Dui
Most reliable labour has their own job. Labour also hard to find here in Chounburi.

True that Ao.
That's why it's still not finished

Hey guys,
Have managed to take a bit of a break from working and get the AP system expansion sorted.
First job was to fix the Strimmer (or weed whacker as I think you guys call it) and start clearing the garden.
The system had all but disappeared under the jungle....
These pics are after a full day strimmering and clearing.




Some of the stuff is over 20 feet tall, things grow quickly in the tropics !

Good to see you back at it Dui
