Worm & vermicast harvest 2012. Make your own castings fertilizer..
Grow your own fish food & veggie fertilizer..A round up of the worm & castings/vermicast we got from 4 small farms... Some worms were gifted to a Free Cycle member but the rest went into the bathtub or back worm farms.. All the castings will be used in ours or family members veggie gardens.. Worms will be used as fish food in the coming months for our jade perch in the Aquaponics set up.. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z8i0NbIeJY
Green Mango, Papaya & Wombok Home Grown Salad
Have had a few folks ask to see what we pick from the patch so here you go :-)
Decided to also show you how they were used to make up one of our favourite meals..

G'Day Folks. In this clip I run through a few issues we've had with my parent's hastily made Chop & Flip Aquaponics System.
Will be following this one up with a "Chop & Flip FAQ" clip in the near future.
Hope you enjoy this cautionary tale & your gardens are booming.
Cheers all. ? ??

We have been battling these guys here over the past 4 years.. The problem is amplified as there are many local people that have mango trees & allow the fruit to drop & rot encouraging the mass breading of these pains in the fruity bits.. I am going to try & beat these guys this year using netting & bags so we can get some decent tomatoes & capsicum/peppers..

Cleaned out the grow beds in the aquaponic system the other day to get ready for the big move around.. Is quite amazing the amount of growth 12 fish can support I think..
Also found a few volunteer & fruiting plants which made my day.. Found out the hard way that it's a good idea to protect the IBC grow beds from the sun.. Will be covering them all up with paint or cladding from now on..

Hi folks.
Has been a bit of a sad weekend here for us as the last of our original hand raised chickens, Chicken Little, died. As chickens are a flocking bird we decided to re-home our last chook, Blackie, at my sister & BIL's place. We also gave them the home made bulk feeder & nipple waterer as well.
We will be getting more chickens but would like to set the pen & day yards up in different positions first.
