Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

LMAO, yes my photoshop skills suck bad. If you ever see a pic of the pool with no photoshop remind me and I will devulge what was under the blocked out parts.

I'm guessing rafts of some kind.

Edit - decided not to make helo call on the 5th amendment in replying to his post.

Thanks, I did not know that posting that would cause so many. I was just trying to post pics of my progress.

No it is nothing like that. Just something I would rather the powers to be not know about. It is nothing that I am trying to keep from you guys. It is just the nature of the beast.

So we will just say it is floating duckweed.

There you go

Less the poultry.

The system is looking great Helo. Im interested to see how the bananas will go (I love bananas, and I worked in banana fields...)

whats the big ticket items on the to do list now ?

Thanks, the banana's are growing fast and doing good in there.

The next big thing to do is build a form on top of the wall, and pour concrete inside the wall and about 4 inches thick on top of the wall. After that it is putting rocks down inside the structure, doing my drainage, and moving everything inside. Then to start on the roof of the greenhouse.

Lovin the progress HM. Are you guys coming out of summer now? Whats your temps atm?

Thanks, summer is almost over. But we won't get cool temps for another few months. Right now the temps are high 90 (35C), with about 80% humidity. Still miserable outside after about 10am. Got a few months of nice weather, then we get real cold for a month or two.

Any updates helomech?

No, not really. Wife had surgery so I had to put pouring the concrete on hold. Hoping to put the forms up in a couple weeks and pour then. That is going to cost me about 1500 dollars. Then need about 500 dollars worth of rocks for the bottom of the green house. Then I can move all my grow beds inside and build a temporary green house roof for this winter. Running out of time.

Everything is growing great, except my peppers. Not sure what is going on with them. The tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, bannana trees, eggplants, sugar cane, all growing fast and doing great.

Good to see you are still at it.

Hope your wife is ok

Do you get really cold winters?
