DON'T GROW THESE CROPS IN AQUAPONICS 

Don't forget that a lot of these crops can be planted in wicking beds as an alternative to back breaking labor of a typical garden.

Your videos are seriously hidden gems! Love the content, learning so much so fast!! Thank you for your inspiration and knowledge!! 😀😀

Take the solids from your swirl filter and use them in your garden if you have one.

Perfect, thanks Brooklyn. I appreciate the information. Keep it up my man.

Thanks man.. lovely info..

someone will hack the fruit thing eventually though, it will be glorious

For me if I did any of those plants it would be a modified thing right. Like if I wanted a fruit tree I would start it in aquaponics so it could grow rapidly then transplant it into soil. For root vegetables i would also do something modified where I would get a barrel filled with media and basically drip it onto that media at intervals so everything could stay well drained but still moist enough for it to grow and get nutrients. Have the barrel be a hanging barrel and definately be an aquaponics system instead of hydroponics. I think it can be done, just just in a different way.

I hear that nitrifying bacteria can work at low pH (I know of a farmer that does well at 6), especially with a high BSA, if they're given time to adapt (could take over a year, and they can't really handle any changes to the system).

Ahhh... so now I understand why potatoes & blurberries are so hit & miss with aquaponics. I swear I've seen farmers get a good batch followed by a dead one. Did not know it was due to the ph needs. Now as far as trees are concerned, the only ones I've seen take up entire media beds and I've often wondered what will limit the root growth. The longer roots grow, the taller the plant grows, right? So if you absolutely must have that apple tree, what happens in three years when those roots overtake the entire media bed? Not saying it can't be done; I just worry about the shock associated with eventually having to transfer the tree to another bed or even the soil....

Good info

Hey wasup bruh. you definitely got me inspired to start my own aquaponics system.

Hello Brooklyn,

Good morning Brooklyn,

If i was going to plant Fruit and nut trees I would just put them in a big ass pot. And if I was worried about nutrients I always have some earthworm castings going in a bin And put those Nutrients on those trees

Great video sometimes you gotta stay with the dirt just because you can don't mean you should tfs!!!

In Australia they are trying papaya but even though they do grow and produce well 1 tree takes up 1 media bed. So what is the case as far as earnings. Several hundred heads of lettuce vs a dozen papaya? Lettuce wins hands down. With the money you save on lettuce you can buy more papaya than you want to eat.

Ok. I'm sticking with leafy vegetables. Also, how do you keep your dog from eating your vegetables?

Hi Brooklyn my name is Dan im from Australia iv been following your channel for a long time now and im finally ready to start my own aquaponics system I've been collecting bits to start off with including my first green house which is not that big its 4.7m long and 2.5m wide I was wondering if you could give me some advice how to maximize my space I have 3 Ibc tanks and a 1200 liter rectangle shape koi fish tank. To work with. I was hoping to fit floating raft (dwc) and also flood drain gravel grow beds +fish tank +sump +filter system (I think im going with a swirl filter im not a HI class grower yet still a rookie) I will get the pump when I work out how much water I have in the system. Any thoughts or ideas to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated thanks dan praying to the aquaponics god

Thanks so much for all the videos. What you think of turmeric in aquaponics?

How about rice? Can rice be grown in aquaponics?
