Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Haha, yeah I tend to do that. Plus it's a long thread, inspires a long discussion? (making it an even longer thread and...)

Oh good, glad to find it's ongoing and I'm not late/slow to pick up on the consensus.

JT's greenhouse system thread has lapped infinity, twice.

Are you still running with that Ron?

Yea... I am not going to stop. JT is the Chuck Norris of AP. JT does not make mistakes, he just makes demonstrations on what would happen if you do something wrong.

Those golden tomatoes (a couple of pages back) look amazing JT and I haven't seen anything like them here. What show stoppers.

thanks faye

they are breakfast kellog and brandywine yellows....

Between the toms and the chocohabs I may have to start sucking up to JT for seeds.... or a half pound of magic media ... or ... or .. Have you lost weight, JT? Hair cut? Goatee trim? Is that a new t-shirt? LOVE the color on you... You look 10 years younger...

seeds are no problem... I only do heirlooms....

magic media.. thats in short supply

Hi JT,

I just read through the 80 pages of posts (split over 2 days) and just wanted say how great a read it was and what an awesome system you have made for yourself there! AND I would like to congratulate myself for reading 80 pages of posts it certainly was a worthwhile use of my time!..
Big thanks for the contribution to all AP peeps!

JT,

First off YOU THE MAN! I just spent two days reading through 80 pages and gathered some great information from it. My wife and I are just starting our system and have alot to learn but you have excelled the learning curve. I would be very interested in another update, especially on the buisness side of things.

Have you done any more speaking appearances? Do you collect any type of regular income on selling some of your produce? I understand most is for personal use, but it seems you have been selling some and I was just curious if it has become a supplemental income for your family.

Anyways, great thread, great read, and GREAT system my man. Thanks for all your hard work in logging evolution of your AP system. It is a marvel for sure...

Well I'm late to this party but wanted to say what a great attitude you had throughout this venture. I was looking for a wicking bed thread I stumbled onto a couple years ago and just now getting back around to finding it (you) again

Nice job brother!

JT came...JT conquered..then JT took his ball and went home..hahahahha

Just got finished reading this thread and his wicking bed one. Awesome stuff and really getting me inspired.

Does anyone have the images on how he did the UniSeals through the plywood and liner? or have a link to something similar?

Some where is some of my threads there are probably pictures from me installing uniseals through liners, I usually use plastic backing for the uniseals through liner though since plywood is often too thick and makes it really hard to push the pipe through the uniseal.

Hey

here is one of the pictures you were looking for....

I use 2 layers of 1/2" plywood for the bottom of the growbeds and its just to thick to use a
uniseal...

I use a 1/4" pvc plastic to put the correct size hole into for the uniseal...

then I make a larger hole in the plywood to clear the bottom of the uniseal

and your done..

JT
