Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

He is in dardanup or ferguson.
Fergusonsprings I think it's called.

It's where I will be getting all my fish from now on.

Should be plenty of options to get fingerlings next year. I have had 5 lots of people drop by here over the last 3 weeks and all are either set up and running or in the process of doing so. I also know of at least 2 others that will be ready to start supplying fish from next year. First came the boom in aquaponics followed by those supplying systems now its the fingerling suppliers turn.

Yeah bud I'll be after them how much and when ? Also I'm after a few female Marron ?

Here is a link to Troutmans website with prices

Tomatoes are producing fruit now.
Nothing else has really taken off. I planted some more seedlings last night. Got some radicchio, spring onions and garlic chives.

Hoping to see some growth from the other plants now that I have upped the feed.

How old is ur system now

About 7/8 weeks old now.

Give it another month or so then u should see some good growth. Just a tip don't put any mint in a gb unless that's all u want in there

Haha yea I have heard that. I don't really use mint so not real high on the grow list.

Yeah all good it just takes over like crazy

A few updated pics.

Some plants are growing nicely and others aren't growing at all. Tomatoes are doing well and am starting to pick a couple a week from them. Rainbow chard is growing nicely. Lettuce, chilli, capsicum all seem to be stagnant and are performing much better in my dirt garden.





The pumpkin plant seems to be growing alright now. It's a variety called Potimarron. Grows round and about 1kg so thought it would grow along the shed wall alright. Never grown pumpkins before.

I added a capful of seasol to the growbed to help the plants not doing too well and chucked in a heap of seeds.

Well only 3 days later and some of the seeds I threw in the grow bed have sprouted already
Hopefully the bugs stay away from this lot. Will have to give the plants a spray of dipel as I seem to be losing some tomatoes and leaves of some plants to something.

I don't think u should use dispel I'm not sure if it's fish safe try chilly spray I use it one myn have a good look for caterpillars on ur tomatoes I'm in dalyellup and have heaps of them !!! My chills didn't grown much for agers now they are going good

Dipel is fine to use. I empty the powder into a pepper shaker and sprinkle it straight on the leaves as a powder.

Good stuff I wasn't sure have u had issues with caterpillars Charlie ?
