Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

We have an abundance of coconut husk here that is simply left to rot all I need to do is fabricate a shredder. We also have an abundance of composted sea weeds. I know beach resort here just dump the garbage they collected at the shores, which is mostly seaweeds somewhere in their place. All i need to do is collect the composted seaweeds. They will be glad I help get rid of the garbage.

Did anyone have experience in mixing seaweed compost and coco peat. Will they be good in AP systems.

Thanks

Very high salt content, tried it on dirt vegie garden big mistake.

My suspicions as well. Thanks for confirming. Maybe small amount for soil amendment.

philippines has high rain fall yes?
maybe can put in a large barrel, hook up to down pipe on house and soak most of the salt out?

thanks good idea or maybe just scrape the top layer on the dump site. although I was thinking that rain might wash off some of the nutrients. So I might end up with incomplete source. I saw it happen in salt flats. The salts are normally brownish in color then they store it in the open in heaps. Then they harvest only the top layer the bottom part become more brownish. That was when I was young people back then dont like dirty salt.
