System Progress:
Most everything is doing well. After I sprayed the cucumbers and squash plants with potassium bicarbonate, most of the powdery mildew went away. I took a peek at the carrots and they are tiny! I'm wondering if they will do better in a bed that is all hydroton, or whether they suffered from a lack of nutrients the first month or so after they were planted. I've got to do a better job of cycling the crops, and now that I have experience with gardening I will have a better idea of the space requirements, the time requirements, and the required upkeep. We have also started weighing everything we produce and I plan on using that data for a number of things.
The plants were showing signs of nutrient deficiency so I added some more iron so that should do the trick. Now that my 2nd system is finished I'm just waiting for that to finish cycling so that I can finally buy some tilapia.
Our cucumber plants finally started producing. It took about two and a half months but once they started to produce they started to produce a lot!

My tomatoes are finally starting to come along. A lot of fruit but still green at the moment. I see a few starting to turn red though!
Aquaponics has a very low cost as compared to Aquaculture and Hydroponics.
ReplyDeleteThis is because instead of provide regular materials to the plants and animals from outside, these stuffs and generated by themselves internally and
the waste products are also used up internallyAfter reading the last post here,
you already know that Aquaponics is very profitable in the sense of time space and expense.
Now, today I am gonna tell you about all the benefits Aquaponics
