Im Late Im Late for a Very Important Date

I am trying to settle this blog on to a steady Monday, Wednesday, Friday event however it seems the best I can achieve is any three days a week.

I love gardening of any type growing a vegetable garden has always been a passion for me. It’s a simple enough thing to say, but I really, really love home vegetables! The simple act of planting a seed, nurturing it and eventually harvesting its fruits is to me, a massively satisfying series of events. It’s a way of declaring my independence and providing healthful, fresh food for my family my friends and our local charities. Since the introduction of Aquaponics into my life, there has been a change because when we started this our plan or dream was to cut costs, cut water and cut space.

Well its a long way from an idea to a completed project on the scale that we are attempting, because we expect about 3 acres to be under A/P by the time we will be able to put our feet up. So to those people who are maybe working on or still just thinking about starting a small Aquaponics unit, we wish you well and please be patient with me if I get a bit slack from time to time, or if I digress at times or repeat things. The reason that may happen is, I dont go over the archives to see if I have covered a particular item.

Now on with the Blog....:

Keeping your Records up to Date

I think Im going to have to wait until the new year to turn over a new leaf about keeping records. I think I have set-up and started a record keeping system about seven times now and every time I have a problem the records go out the window until I can finally come to gripes with the cause of the problem. This mostly occurs when I have a fish kill. I hate losing even one of them and I struggle with myself and tend to blame myself until I or someone comes up with an acceptable answer.

The fact that fish kills can be expected at any time and with no apparent reason doesnt change the way I feel.

So if you happen to have one or two floaters, and you get to feel a bit guilty about it.... YOURE NOT ALONE.....

Anyhow back to fishin and planting...
