Well done video instruction. I’ll be trying out the same sort of system for
the first time this Spring. It’s seasonal here in New Jersey but I hope to
harvest in the Fall and keep the young fish indoors over the Winter.

Awesome system, you might wish to try cutting the buds off the basil before
they flower. You should get a less bitter taste

Nice video! Throw some red worms into your grow beds for an even more
efficient system as well as a cleaner one.

I’m ready to build my system and I have a question for you. It looks like
your using the grow bed with the side of the cap. That’s the side I want to
use as we’ll, however what’s the size of the fittings for the PVC piping
that you are using for the auto-siphon?

Did you have more watermelon plants or just the one that didn’t do well?
I’m curious to see how well they did in the system because I want to do
watermelon and cantaloupe in mine. Among other things, of course. Great
looking set up, you’ve got there.

You really can build your backyard that doesn’t need weeding, tilling or
cultivating, the spreading of fertilizer or garden compost, without
watering or irrigating; all while your plants yield up to 10 x the amount
of fresh vegetables than plants from a dirt garden.

Do you use bio filter or will the bacteria form naturally and then start
the nitrate circle

Nice video .. but just a thought using black IBC when you are concerned
about heat ? painting it white or getting the more translucent white one
could get you 5 degrees cooler easily ..

Love your videos! How often do you need to change the Hydroton? Does it
eventually have TOO much solids in it? Also, what other levels are you
monitoring besides the PH? I would like to use a bigger grow bed but how
do you know how many fish will give you the desired nutrient levels?
Lastly… does your system constantly fill and drain or is it on a timer?

The symptoms you’re describing sound more like nitrogen or potassium
deficiencies and by the looks of your stocking density it’s doubtful that
it’s nitrogen. Characteristic K deficiency is chlorotic (yellow) and
necrotic (dead) tissue along margins of more mature leafs. In your video
you said there is greying and browning of the plants. Characteristic iron
deficiencies are usually interveinal chlorosis of young leafs and as the
deficiency progresses, entire leaves turn yellow, then almost white.

Yea, not enough for us to worry about. We are trying to find other means of
organic fish food like black fly larvae and duckweed.
