Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Today I built a Raised Garden Bed using the bottom of an IBC Crate. Planted out some wild grass from the backyard and sowed some Wheatgrass Seed for the Guinea Pigs.

Nice! They look good.

How are your GP's doing?

Cheers. GPs are doing great, I gave 2 males away and still have 4 sows of which 3 will be used for breeding. The other will end up on the dinner plate in about 6 weeks.

Hey, 6 weeks.

How are they?

that raised garden bed seems like a cool idea, especially if you encourage the grass to grow out the sides.

how did they taste?

Can you make little bacon from GPs?

Whats the latest, Matt?

where's matt? Hope he didn't choke on the first one?

almost as scary as drop bears

The top pic is definitely guinea pig zombies, on the hunt for cauliflower brains.

Funny thread .....Ive built a rabbit hutch. ....but according to the peoples republic of Kommiefornia I cant have tilapia raised for food without paying them 800 bucks the first year get inspected and 600 something every year after.....but I can have them as pets.......

Hi Matt
This is a bit surreal.
My youngest daughter is in Peru.
Teaching children English and women business skills.
Today she approved a loan of £40 to a lady, to buy 28 ducks.
This lady, also keeps guinea pigs. She is regarded locally as: You know I was going to say Mrs guinea pig. I then re thought. The local expert.
The application process for the loan includes a questionnaire.
1 Do you have electricity at home?
2 What fuel do you use for cooking?
3 What is your floor made of?
4 Do you have a fridge?

No;wood:Earth; No; ( a luxury)

Do you have any questions for her?

If you do ask away and I will pass them on.
The power of the internet to share knowledge never ceases to amaze me.

Puts things in perspective doesn't it.
