Aquaponics | Austin Aquaponics | Central Texas Gardener 

Hi Kim, it's Jeff from JT. I'm done with the rolling garden at my house. I am going to do this, and sell locally. Still growing your seeds too.

Soon, my Foundation will be working on third world countries to eradicate hunger and promote quality jobs and healthy eating, while educating the employees in tasks and basic technical skills, while the kids are being taken care off in schools inside the farm. Wish me luck.

Why not both? I love my cars, but absolutely cannot wait to finish education and get on with my farm.

My twin turbo mustang is pretty fast and i'm starting an aquaponics farm :D My first greenhouse is 14ft x 100ft

But fast car go fast. VROOOM!

That would be boring as fuck

How can I find it?

100 dollar question

Very observant! nature requires all of the elements and in the same ratio as sea salts. Most of these are met with the pink gypsum and granite. (they used to be the ocean floor now a mountain). A few other items are missing in the system. If we had a list of the compost and tea ingredients we might have a more complete picture. One rule all growers/farmers miss is the microbial balance. 70% RNA with 30%DNA. that 30% should be equal parts 15% bacterial groups and 15% fungal groups. Once you get past beginners stage it would be helpful to purchase a refractometer to do and record you BRIX readings. This your customers can brag on for you.

excellent idea! ty

How is the system working so far?

Did you?

I'm not an aquaponics farmer but I believe it is because air is pumped through the troughs. 2:44 .

I agree with the trough system and will build the same but I've seen videos where they have floating trays with plants suspended with roots soaking in the water 24/7. Don't understand how they DON'T die.

There's a liner between water and media to keep dirt out but moisture still goes through. No sump pump, pump is in the fish tank recirculated using gravity.

Richard Britt certain plants do well being in water all the time like lettuce, plus its a 45 day cycle.

Richard Britt Yes, it's mostly lettuces that do very well in the water full time; they grow 2-4 times faster because they don't have to push roots through dirt.

Additionally, it included helpful information for the professional, you could find out more here: great7.net/diy-aquaponics-system

I'd like to get more info to set up

+Joan R. Bond I strongly recommend you to check out this, where you are able to know everything from start to finish in a simple techniques: fine4.info/build-your-own-aquaponics-x00023

Any info?

Keep going at it man, I wanna build one in my new house.

Ey my friend dis you get the diagram?

Just by following detailed blueprint and grows plants twice as fast in aquaphonics system, uncover more here: livebetter4.com/aquaphonics-building-easily

better news is, Its aquaponics not aquaphonics

standard fish food(pellets)

it would have to be a 20k + solar system to run that much water. From the looks of it, it has to be at least a 5-10k gph pump he's running 24/7.

this might work - at least would be great to have as a backup in case your power goes out: www.goalzero.com/p/138/goal-zero-yeti-1250-solar-generator-kit

ridiculous statement, a man does not need a women to be successful, i've completed many many projects successfully without anyones support, woman or otherwise, the only thing that limits a man is himself.

He meant it's a tropical fish

Tuna and salmon and mako sharks... great whites somewhat as well..

The fish are usually not thought of as needing space and what not.. they are for eating and filtering the water, that's it. Idk if your idea would be feasible to keep water controlled (temp, quality). Maybe there would be a way to use a pond for this method? Idk.

dark galaxy Does no one else see how poor the quality of life is for these fish? How about a real body of water they can swim to? Every set up I’ve seen has had cramped, unnatural settings for the fish. Also, the pumps are loud and the fish have to endure that, plus stomping and banging doors. We sure seem to have a hard time replicating nature

I can see both sides... The need to keep the fish protected from predators and the importance of stress free fish living in a natural habitat. 🤔 I will be keeping this in mind

What predators though? The house cat? How about an actual body of water and a channel to the green house?

+Don C In nominal terms. The price will now rise.

Don C it depends on where you live how mechanically inclined you are and if you can find some of your materials and recycle them like barrels are my gravel beds....i make around 8000$ per month during spring and summer and a little less during winter...i grow niche gardens like gourmet garlic which is hard to find and lots of high end lettuce the high end restaurants love coming to my 2 greenhouse farm but I still grow some things in the ground.good luck

+Buffalo_Chips how is that "too bad" ? Most people in the business for profit are hydroponic. It's far less messy than fish.

Fish is the most natural route. No chemicals just keeping a balance. Plus fish are pretty to look at.

@@homertalk Tasty too.

Moreover, you only need to stick to the clear aquaphonics system instruction and save up 70% energy than conventional gardening, find out more here: great7.net/aquaphonics-building-easily
