Equipped the camera with a must have piece of equipment for the windy weather here in August.. Have been holding off on this purchase for a while but decided to take the leap the other day.. Very basic mod for a very basic cameraman ;) Worked for me & hope it works well for you...
Using Chlorinated Tap Water in Aquaponics + Fish Harvest
G'Day Folks. Had a bit of a mishap with the aquaponic system here last week that involved an open valve & chlorinated tap water.
Moves have been made to prevent this from happening again. Hope this serves as a precautionary tale for others so your fish don't meet the same fate.
Hope you enjoy this quick update & your gardens are booming.
Cheers all. ? ??
Rob
PLEASE NOTE- The chlorine molecule had "Cl" listed as its formula. It should be "Cl2". Sorry for any confusion.

Time for another wander through the patch.. Marked a few jobbies off the list but still have some of the larger ones to go.. Getting the beds ready for the warm weather crops is the top priority at the moment so will be feeding up the beds this weekend & hope to make a start on the last 2 wicking beds along the front fence.. Would be nice to make a start on the fish farm over the next few weeks as the girls are on school holidays :)

Was just going to film the Making of Chook stock that was going to be used in some Pumpkin soup & got carried away...
The spawn wanted to help & film so couldn't say no...
Below is the recipe in the clip was based on but as you can see I never follow the recipe to the "T", especially if it is my own :)
Quick Indian style Coconut & chicken curry...
3Tbsp of oil
3 large Chicken thighs (about 350g or 3/4lb), sliced width wise
4 cloves worth of crushed Garlic
1 medium Onion, chopped in half then sliced thinly
1 dessert spoon of our favourite Curry powder
2 dessert spoons of minced Turmeric... 1Tbsp of dried would be about the same I think
I made up 350ml or 3/4pint worth of Coconut milk using 5 Tbsp of Coconut milk powder but a a tin of Coconut cream would be about the same
Tin of diced Tomato's (410g/14oz), with liquid reserved in a cup for later
½ cup of Sultanas (just added for some sweetness, why not I say..)
Large handful of Bush Beans, chopped into 3rds
1 cup frozen Peas
1 medium sized Red Capsicum, diced......
-Add Onion, Capsicum, Garlic Turmeric to hot oil in a medium cast iron pot/Saucepan, stir for 1 minute
-Add Chicken strips & cook until browned then add curry powder, stir 1 minute
-Add Coconut cream, Tomato chunks, & ½ the tomato liquid, bring to the boil then return to simmer & add Sultanas
-At this point I turned the heat to its lowest setting, put the lid on & left it for an hour stirring every 15 min's...
-15 minutes out from serving I added the Beans, Peas, the rest of the reserved tomato juice to add a bit more liquid & returned it to the boil for a few minutes before serving it on some steamed rice...
Was a very tasty quick dish....
Have a great one....

Would you like to see a Reno Clip & Spruiking My Wares
G'Day Folks. I thought I'd ask you all if you'd like to see a clip on why we're renovating as well as the progress to date after having more than a few folks make enquiries around the place.
Have also taken this opportunity to spruik some of the gear that I use & sell.
Spruik BTW is an Aussie term that refers to promoting one's goods or self in a public situation.
Hope you enjoy this quick chat & your gardens are booming.
Cheers all. ? ??

Found this little feller in a bag of horse manure today & it gave me a bit of a shock.. I think it has been very lucky to survive the bobcat earth mover & shovels on its trip to get here from the horse yards west of Ipswich.. Am very glad I saw it before the lawnmower go to it..
Have only seen a few of these around our yard so hopefully this newcomer might help boost the numbers around here a bit..

Scrap paper is one resource that many people can recycle on site.. We have used it as a weed suppressor, added it to the compost, as bedding material for livestock or even to help feed some of the smaller, more wrigglier "livestock"..
Our shredded bills/scrap paper has been going into the worm farms for a while now & we have expanded our use of it due to Bianca collecting discarded "newspapers" on her daily train commute.. Shredded paper is now being used to line the chicken's nesting box thanks to our increased supply without any complaints from the girls ;)
Did suggest to Bianca that she could take extra bags & collect more so we could use paper as the deep litter layer in the girls pen but she said she has enough to carry home as it is ;)
