Grey mould on strawberries, an easy organic control method..
There is nothing worse than watching a plump strawberry form on the bush for it to turn into a grey ball of mould just as it is getting ready to pick.. Grey mould on our strawberries has been a minor problem in our patch in the past but this year we have had a larger outbreak due to a wetter than normal winter.. I thought I would show 2 easy control methods that don't use toxic chemicals with one of them including ingredients most of us have & use in the kitchen..
Iron in Aquaponics | Deficiencies Testing & Chelated Iron
G'Day Folks. In this clip I show you what an iron deficient plant looks like & talk about the types of iron supplements you can add to the system to fix the deficiency.
I also demonstrate a basic iron test kit I recently purchased then walk you through an equation that will help you to maintain iron in the system at a specific level.
Hope you enjoyed the clip & your systems are booming.? ??
Cheers all,
Rob

Has been a few days shy of 2 months since the last Aquaponic update so though it might be time to post a quick one ;)
Not much happening at the moment other than plants & fish growing.. Have had a few issues with falling pH but think I have that all sorted for now, Cheers TC :)
Now that B has a few weeks off we should have more than enough time to sort out the beds for the re build as well as make a start on the RAS.. Hope to have a clip up on that in January..

This compost pile has been sitting quietly doing its thing since last November with the help of some compost worms.. Thought it was time to collect some of the compost to help the new plantings along in the patch & thought I would show how well it's all broken down..
Have been most impressed with the way the added compost worms have further processed the material in there into a fine vermicast rich product.. I think this will be my preferred way of composting & worm farming from now on.. Am thinking about setting up another so we can have 2 on the go at the same time with one cooking while the other is finishing off..

Have been tinkering with a compost heater to help bump the temperature in the aquaponic system over the past few weeks. Haven't had great results but thought I'd share where I'm up to so far.
Have also included a bit of info about ideal temperature ranges for the Jade & Silver perch as it might help some decide which would be best to run in their system.
Here's a few links that might help folks who are interested in looking into compost heaters further.

This is by no means a macho chilli munching attempt.. I am slowly conditioning my taste buds to hotter chillies but think it will be a while until I can chow down on one of these raw :D
The seeds for the bih jolokia & the yellow 7's were sent to us by Shaun, a YT friend, to see how they go in our longer growing season.. I will have plenty of seed for him as to try next year.. Will also see if I can sent some fruit down as well..
I am quite sure I will be trying the yellow 7 fruit the same way as they are said to be hotter again + I ♥ my taste buds..

Hasn't been the best Summer for us in a few beds around the garden so thought I would give you a bit of a look.. Is now time to cut some of our losses & give some of the beds a rest.. Have also had some great crops at the same time so not all is lost ;)
Think it's also time to start planing out how we will fit in some of the winter brassica crops.. Also hoping to have a good crack at growing some tomatoes through winter as well but you have to wait & see what we come up with..

Made up this very cheap Bathtub Worm Farm out of recycled items & a bathtub we sourced originally from freecycle.org.. It will let us consolidate all the different worm farms we have into 1 large one.. Has made the feeding of the worms a lot easier & has produced loads of terrific castings for us..
