Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

a few hundred Dutch buckets and more DWC in a decoupled system that I haven't posted any pics of yet

Ryan any info you can share on the Dutch Buckets as this is part of my next plans....

While I would love to help Ryan manage to get his course done into a great video, having been involved in the AV/Production/audio/lighting/video side of meetings and events for a living before I went nuts, bought a farm and had a baby, I know that it isn't something you easily do at a drop of a hat. Especially, when also trying to deal with the basic logistics of simply putting on a multi day course at an off site facility. I don't know what sort of additional staff Ryan has helping with this event but, if this is the first time hosting such an event, trying to also deal with multiple cameras, camera operators, sound people, wiring and production shoot planning is probably NOT going to happen.
Simply setting up a static camera on a meeting room rarely produces any sort of usable product.

I also know that putting on these courses isn't "cheap" so Ryan probably doesn't have a whole lot of extra money to even consider hiring the video project out even if he did have the time/attention it would require to deal with a video crew while he is also teaching. The person presenting can't really be dealing with the crew at the same time as he is presenting so there would need to be some one brought up to speed on the entire course schedule/material before the class happens so they could deal with the crew while Ryan is busy teaching.

Ah.... you're correct about one static camera being not enough, that is why i suggested multiple go pros.

Good mechanical and biological filtration as well as the correct type of media for your AP water conditions.

Here are a few recent pictures! This is one of the busiest times of my life so my apologies for not visiting more often!

I hope everyone is doing well!

Wow everything is looking great Ryan! I really need to get out to FL for your class. How is your nft system doing?
I can't wait to show my wife the happy and sad tomato haha

Looking great!

Are you getting sick of picking tomatoes yet?

Ryan, you look different... prettier somehow...

stop flirting with the goat ;-}

That tomato plant is insane. I have never seen so many toms on a truss.

Is it a special variety, or just loving the setup?

Setting the standard as always Ryan........

Love the 'happy' and 'sad' tomatoes lol

OMG Ryan - finally found a blemish on one of your plants !






ok ok, so it was on the lawn and doesn't really count.

Your plants always look totally amazing and perfect specimens with no sign of any nutrient lack - very inspiring stuff.
