Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

naa, this one was neatly picked... none of the usual signs of animals having had a go at the fruit or plant...

bower birds are very quick. We used to have them picking chillies off the bush that was in a pot on the verandah. They didn't even stop in flight, just flew past and it was gone

Yep I've seen bower birds raiding my toms in mid flight... hovering like honey suckers.....

are bower birdsbig enough to eat ?

Hummm.... heard of pidgeon pie... a "bower bake" ???

i came out one day and all the leaves were gone from one of my zucinni plants . something got them in the night, but only one plant.

you get rabbits out your way MC?

LOL

The article that appeared in the Cairns Sun yesterday :0
Does not mention AP though

yes it does, or did you want a more detailed explanation?

It would have been better if they had place the reference right in the middle of the article ... get people wondering 'hmm, what on earth is aquaponics"

yep, that would be much better, but good publicity

And there folks is a "prime" example of how the pollies behave and push there agendas.

Sadly it's also a complete demonstration of how easily our media is lead to comply and assist the political process.

Any real (local) reporter would have investigated what the college was doing that led to the grant being awarded...

Instead the paper ran a pre-prepared "press release" from the local Liberal candidates office... complete with attached photo...

Sad... but true....

Yes you are right.....

Mind you the reporter did not looked very bright to me...

She spelled my name wrong

ahhh little grasshopper, you have much to learn about politics, the media and the motivations of both
