    Aquaponic sip?

    Looks nice. Right, I forgot about the rock dust. Ok, so add a few goldfish to the list. Easy enough Im not sure about the soma. It looks similar to what I had in mind. Sit it in a bed of gravel. Maybe pumice, but im thinking river rocks seems the most logical thing to use. And let the water...

    Aquaponic sip?

    I'll be starting soon on my worm castings, so they can be ready for spring- they'll be used elsewhere until needed here. Start with a yard of leaf mold. Add a bag of ground barley malt and my amendments. He says kelp meal, I'm probably not buying that. It's not cheap here. I'll have to work...

    Aquaponic sip?

    Now as far as the bed itself- like I said, 4x8 is well oversized for the task at hand. But the lighting bill will still be less than a weeks worth of weed, so?

But, it will lose tilth and sink, and fall through the cracks in the gravel and get washed away. But that's actually not bad,is it? That means the old...

    Aquaponic sip?

    Aquaponic systems typically stock three fish to a borderline toxic level to meet the plants needs. However, this isn't the only source of nutrients the plants will get. So it need not be quite so densely populated.

    Aquaponic sip?

    Ok, basically yes I was talking about growing compost material with some chemical fertilizer. Im not sure about gage green I'll have to look into it. I was mostly trying to put more diversity into the system

    Aquaponic sip?

    Hi, so im researching to eventually build an overly elaborate growroom. I've done much reading, much experimentation with other crops. I have a couple questions id like some input on. So, I'll be making a large sip, 4x8. I want to incorporate an aquaponic/ bioponic system with that...
