Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

The book is alcohol can be a gas. It may be the best book ever written on making your own fuel. It has a lot of small farm and fish farm info.

Here is the authors time.site

I bought my copy from knowledgepublications.com but I think they may have sold out. They also have not yet listed the book for sale on their site because they were only taking pre orders.

I got my solar book from that website. Good stuff.

Ok, I did an OCR of a few pages from the book that makes for really good aquaponics reading. There is so much more, but you really should buy the book if you want more info. This sections includes the bulk of info on fish.

Chives for pesticide, and great options for cheap fish food!

A study at AMD was done feeding tilapia up to 75% DDSG and 25% soy meal. The growth rates of the fish was greater than those feed animal protein.

Were you able to download the pdf ok?

Yeah, I got it thanks Dandee..... took a couple of goes, but got it

Ok good. I just wanted to be sure the link worked.

If you really want to get rid of slugs and want to stay au natural/ organic--look into buying some diatomaceous earth:

Wiki Diatomaceous Earth

Great at killing slugs and other unwanted critters by means of dehydration and microscopic cuts/abrasions.

As the article states, It works quite well as a medium for plants, but can get quite expensive depending on your location in the world and if there is a localized supply.

My father has always used it in the garden & Ive used in with my bonsai and my diatom filter in my aquariums.

isnt that what they use in pool filters ?

sure is! the pool grade is actually pretty good stuff since its made from diatoms that were once sea-borne, so they have those little pockets to catch all the nasties.

great stuff to use around children. Kills bugs, won't harm kids. I wish they had it here. I would use it.

you can find it online, especially from online aquarium stores and possibly pool supply shops
