Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

New here... found this from a post you made on the orange tractor forum.

So what do you do with the sugar cane? Do bannana's actually fruit there? I know of people that grow them here but they don't really fruit much...

heck sorry I missed this post. I am hoping the banana's fruit, they are supposed to. As far as the sugar cane I enjoy snaking on it, just chew on it for a while and it tastes great.

Ignore the poor photo shop, I am not going to discuss why I did it. Thought I would update with some new pics. Got all the beds and fish moved into the system even though the walls are not complete. Just going to put up a cheap cover over it for this winter.

Looks great!

Thanks can't wait till I have my walls and green house finished.

Getting there, bit by bit.

I can't wait to see it either.

Thanks, I am going to have well over 10k in this soon.

I am definitely wishing this was at my house

Good thing you work offshore

Thanks just wish I had the extra cash to finish it. I hate not being able to finish something.

I hear ya mate.

My project car is the same. Except it isnt ever finished...

I have a feeling this will never be finished either. Might be done with the concrete and the greenhouse one day, but will probably always be improving something.

Looking great mate !

Are you growing sugar cane !? (I grew up on a cane farm, I find it interesting someone would put it in an AP system)

Yeah, that is sugar cane. I figured I would give it a try and it is growing great. I also planted some near my pond and the stuff in the AP is growing way faster than the stuff in ground.

Well I got a good start on my small temporary green house. Ran out of PVC so I sent the wife into town to get more. Should have it up tomorrow, and then my stuff should be safe for the winter.
