You can use bamboo as a long-term floatable shaft. You can cut holes through some of the segments to bear your plants/pots. You need to leave some of the segments intact to have the buoyancy effect on the raft. To make a square shape raft structure, take four equal size bamboos then remove just half of the cylinder at both ends and place cut spaces into each other so that even you may not need to tie. I mean like a straightened hashtag "# "like structure. You can have additional bamboo in the middle to get more buoyancy and grow holes. It will be a beautiful natural raft.

Thanks, excellent idea for those who have access to bamboo :)

@AutoNomades Год назад

Wow thanks a lot ! I was wondering how to do the less water pollutant raft possible, and going to look around waterbottle raft (as it is more foodgrade than foams), but bamboo is even better ! Does it get heavy after a while in water ? As i need to moove it sometimes...

@paulbarrington-heaven4759 2 года назад

Your videos are great and always very interesting. The twig raft wasn’t brilliant but a good idea. On my pond I use the green plastic gardening fencing/mesh. Choose the small square size and the plants are supported better. Underneath I attach insulating foam tubes, the ones for the copper pipes. Tie these lengthways with green cable ties. The raft floats very well. You can then insert your plants as you did with your twig raft. You could even entwine some twigs to support the plants more. I grow Peppers, cress, tomatoes and lettuce. My favourite raft is one I made with the artificial leaf panels you get for fixing to fences and walls, they are built on a plastic mesh. The artificial green leaves help to support the plant whilst it is young. The foam tubing is also then invisible if you tie it slightly in a bit at the sides.

Great video man. I have my aquaponics system running, I want to add some crustaceans.. Need some advice on how to do it..I have tilapia in my fish tank, can I add crustaceans?? And how should I do it? Thanks man,wanted to know the effect of rainfall then saw your video about rainwater entering the system, helped me a lot.

Hi Jonathan, I bought your book and I am expecting to have my system running after holidays! I build a 3tn pond with deck on top and a large grow bed. Is your system running on constant flow? I am thinking if I can run on constant to keep pond lvl steady or I need a sump tank and flood and drain? Which one you think is most efficient? Sorry for the long text! Thank you for your help!!!

@AquaponicsRevolution 3 года назад

Hello Lucas, first thanks for having bought my book, I trust you will find it very useful along your aquaponics journey. A sump is not required unless you want to maintain your pond level at constant water level. I myself see a great advantage at having the surrounding of the pond being in a "flood and drain" environment. Indeed it can be used as a growbed and therefore increase the biological activity and planting surface.

@LucasCardoso-zo3of 3 года назад

@@AquaponicsRevolution Thank you for the reply! Yes the book is very very informative! So your pond fluctuates then? Cause I read it stresses out the fish. That's my only concern really, as the grow bed will draw 600kg out of the pond so fish space will be reduced.

Hi, Where can I buy your book? How much is cost to build the pond like yours in Melbourne?

@AquaponicsRevolution 2 года назад

On the website AquaponicsRevolution.com you will find the aquaponics manual "The Art of Aquaponics". Price of the aquaponics system depends if you build by yourself or get it built. I also offer a training called "Holistic Aquaponics" on the website to build the same type of system. Let me know if anything. Thanks

@mathewpoole3589 3 года назад

There are two big issues with trying to use the sticks. 1) as the timber becomes more waterlogged it raft would eventually sink. 2) as the timber decomposes it can leach out tennins. Depending on the type of wood being used, this could have little to no effect on the fish. It could affect the pH levels of the water. Or it could actually be toxic. My advice for anyone who wants to experiment with timber rafts, is to do your research. Look for timber that is safe to be used in an aquarium. If it is not safe for an aquarium, it would most likely not be safe to use in a pond or aquaponic system

@ancient_gamerr 3 года назад

I'm gonna try to put some pieces of styrofoam in my aquarium with some herbs in the pots.

@mathewpoole3589 3 года назад

Depending on your fish stock volumes, and water filtration methods, it can be difficult grow herbs like this. One of the biggest issues you'll find is with your water changes. The sudden drop in bacterial and nutrient levels with each water change can stress out the plants. If you really do want to try using your aquarium as a mini system, look at setting up a sump tank, and growing your herbs there. Just run the system loop in this order Aquarium Filter Sheets - may 3 or 4 different grades Sump Tank Back to Aquarium Perform your water changes on the aquarium itself, leaving the sump tank's water as is. Once a week or so, pending fish stock volumes, rinse out one of the filter sheets, and then the following week rinse out the next filter sheet, and then the next and so on. Be sure to aerate the sub tank, and monitor the nitrate, nitrogen, and ammonia levels.

@AquaponicsRevolution 3 года назад

As explained, try to choose semi-aquatic plants. Other herbs may not like this environment. Let us know how you go :)

@mathewpoole3589 3 года назад

@@ancient_gamerr All good, just make sure to aerate the tank well. You'll need to treat it like a deep water system and ensure that there's plenty of bubbles touching the roots, otherwise they'll rot. Other than that experiment with filtering materials, filter mesh, crushed larva rock, dense guppy grass. Anything that will let water pass through, while being able to trapped the fish waste

Did you get to try Kan Kung (water spinach) on rafts? They grow crazy in the summer months. It is called ong choy (蕹菜) in Cantonese. Can be found in the Asian greens section and can be propagated easily with stems packed on the raft. They are one of the best greens you can have in a fish plate. Try stir-fried kang kung with minced garlic and soy sauce. You gonna love it.
