ANOTHER WEEK ANOTHER MONDAY

And a pretty busy one I think, so no idle chatter to-day. We are straight into it full speed ahead:

First up is a bit of a run-around. We have Murray Hallam Working with ECO-FILMS but its on Strain Guides site. So I have to give my usual warning for a young lady who works in an office (reading every issue of this blog) WARNING WARNING

Now thats out of my system, Lets go to 120 things in 20 years where you can see how fish like to be able to get into a current and have a bit of a workout. No wonder they are slim, smooth and sort-of sexy. You dont believe me - Ask another fish.

 So, is there an Aquaponics page on Face/book, you had better believe it.

Now, as this next guy says Its not much yet, but.... Well lets hope you keep driving forward - We all started from the same place.... Good luck Killian

Lets see how this school in the Sun Valley area is fairing after last years chicken hick-up

Next a trip to Louisville to see how the Urban Farming Organization is going(With a Correction)


Aquaponics e-books available here


Now we are off to the Whitney Young High School Eco Club

Aquaponics on display at show

 This time we are off to Malaysia So fasten your seatbelts.

Now the "Bath Tub Aquaponics Brigade" or something like that...

And finally Philippe Cousteau, grandson of Jacques Cousteau, visits Sickles High School

Thats it guys have fun with them and Ill see you real soon

All the best

An Accidental Experiment

The Control Plant
I didnt intend to compare growth in my aquaponics system to regular soil gardening. But when I couldnt use all the seedlings my daughter started for me in March, the extras got tossed aside. The "control plant" is a squash seedling that continued to grow in the soil under natural conditions. The scissors are in the picture to give a sense of scale.

Admittedly, a seedling in a soil plot that was being tended by a dedicated gardener might be thriving more than my control plant. But I am not a dedicated gardener, so it seems a fair comparison.

The Aquaponic Specimen
Here we have a squash plant that was started at the same time, but has had benefit of growing in the aquaponic environment. Other than feeding the fish and correcting the pH of my system, I have done nothing more to nurture this plant that I have done for the control plant.

If you look hard, youll see the scissors at the base of the plant. The size and maturity difference are significant.

Here are a couple more pics, just for fun.
