Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi all,
Just wondering if you prefer to have a small or big greenhouse and what u prefer to grow in them.

I'd definitly prefer to have a big one

Seriously, Greenhouse.... It all comes down to the amount of space you have available, and how big your budget is.

In terms of what you grow, it's probably a matter of what you like to eat.

or mum or dads budget!LOL

lol, yes, we have a smallis medium sized greenhouse, dad does a wonderful job with it. I'm just trying to get more interested.

you mean him more interested?

Any existing (sized) greenhouse can be converted to be part of an aquaponics system .... basically, we are just replacing the tap/hose water and added fertilisers with the fish water (in built fertiliser) and then the best bit is we then recycle the water over and over....

We also replace the soil with gravel, clay balls or some sort of media, so that any soil based nasties and diseases don't get into the fish tank...

I have a feeling that you're going to try and sell your dad on this idea... right Greenhouse

No, TT is my dad
I guess you couldn't of guessed. if that makes any sense

Oh. right then, get into it!

whats your fav. fruit or veggie? and whats you fav. fish?

Ahhh, kewl... so you're a lil'TT'e then....

Are you going to set up a system for yourself to play with.... or are you just aiming to take over the old mans straight away ?

Already sold then Hehehehe!

very funny. Nah, I've already decorated his greenhouse, I'm making him a little sign for X-mas to hang on the door. Don't tell him, but I think he already knows

why dont you get 2x 50L to 80L clear buckets and set up your own little AP system with your favourite fish (prolly even warm enough for some low end tropicals in that green house) and favourite veggies (strawberries?)

get dad to plumb your little system into his main system, that way you'll be sharing his water and you cant go wrong you can call it your own little AP system

yeah, thanks. Dad said I should set up my own AP system. I agree. I'm just gonna take a few of his 407 his silver perch fish and put them in our non-working spa that he used when he started as a trial run. My fav fish is...well, I don't really have one, but I don't know what I'll be growing. I really like cherry tommies. To bad you can't grow stuff like potatoes with AP

What about this for a Greenhouse 12m x 4m
