Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

thanks for your info, VB. I'm not saying much but I am reading.

No probs Rhonda :-)

We have had a lot of rain in the last couple of weeks. Lawn has gone stupid. Does anybody elses lawn look like this?

nah, ours looks like this

LOL Mines baby powder white but bug free.

Here is a wider angle picture of my 'lawn' - see picture above

I;ve not posted many pictures of plants in recent times. This is mainly because my plantlife has been relativelly minimal and pretty crappy. This is mainly due to my grow-bed being in full sun - which means that while the plants survive (having plenty of access to water) they do not flourish because they expend a lot of their energy dealing with the excess UV. This issue will be solved once I build my big system in a different location and most probably house it in a shadehouse/greenhouse.

Anyway - time for a few pictures - eventhough they are pretty crappy.

Some more.

so whats with the grass?

My paw paw which I intended to have in the grow-bed for only a week or 2 until I could put it in a bed of its own is now there to stay - been there for over a month now. It is getting big. Will be real funny to see a huge paw paw tree in the middle of the bed. Wind will probably end up knocking it down once it is full size - because bed is raised 1 meter off the ground so top of tree may end up 3 meters plus.

lol, your bed looks as crowded as mine! I don't feel bad anymore

Did you see my 'lawn' Steve? This is actually just oats - a temporary measure to help pull some nitrates from the system.

cool. I'm glad i dind't bite and post a picture of my scorched earth

Can't believe Jaymie was the only one on the whole board to bite. My jokes always fall flat

i wasn't in the "mood"
