Good to hear from you again Jim. Your greenhouse looks great as always. I'd like to see some pics of the harvest but the potatoes look good so far :thumbright:. Is this the first time you've tried potatoes in AP or have you done them before?

Cheers

I've never tried them in AP myself, only in wicking beds/dirt garden. Post up some pics of the harvest, whichever way it turns out :thumbright: .

Hi Jim. What kind of filtration do you have to prevent clogging on the black tubing that feeds your pots?

Just the standard inline black poly filters, they need to be taken out and cleaned about once a month, simple job with air compressor.

Couldn't get the link quite the way I wanted but I believe Jim's system is here Felix - http://www.backyardaquaponics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=749&hilit=jim%27s+system

This is one of my favorite systems :headbang:
