Worms my systen shut down over winter till i put trout in 1/2 the system chech it out for the growth now

Worms, what water temperature readings were you getting over winter?

pretty low scottie, didn't have a sensor til spring and at that time it read about 13 at lowest, averages about 20c now. prob got lower over winter.

steve, i picked up a nylex tank from the tip the other day, will post pics ...let me know what you think.

very pleased to here all the success storys for harvests, inspiring stuff...keep them coming....im getting about a salads worth a day atm.

Worms, thigs slow down, but I believe most nitrogen comes from the fish breathing, not just their waste. I could be wrong because I havent quantified that yet.

Jamie has 250 silvers and jades. How did hers go over the winter?

my water temps got down to about 13oC during the day in winter. The fish did slow down a bit in their feeding but only for a few weeks.
The veggie picking was on going

The water temp now is 26oC, the fish are very hungry

Yes Jamie, but how many times have I told you.. You cant feed the children to the fish! It's not right...

I think barra are more fun, but silvers for me I think are the way to go. Ive got another crazy plan in my brain atm...
