Is it Winter Already? Prepping for Cool Weather in the Aquaponics
Hi Folks. Have been busy getting the aquaponics shipshape for winter by clearing out some beds & relocating bushy plants. All that's left to do now is swap over the shade cloth with a the lighter insect netting to help keep leaves out of the system. & fill in the gaps with seedlings.
Hope you enjoyed the clip & your gardens are booming.
Cheers all,
Rob

UPDATE...
Think we have this all sorted now & will do an update in a few days hopefully & will link it in...
Many thanks to every who contributed & offered suggestions, some have helped me a lot.. I really appreciate the input & it is one of the reasons I like You Tube so much..
Have a great one all..
Title says it all really..
The issue started before the filter went in, new air & water pumps were connected & the feed changed so am at a bit of a loss as to what is going on at the moment.. We did have a load of rain through the system a few weeks back though, not sure if it is an issue..
Fish appear to be eating fine & looking healthy... Cannot see any lesions on them..
Ammonia trace to .25
Nitrites trace
Nitrates high
pH 6.5 - 7
Any help given will be looked at & weighed up..
Many thanks to all..

Top 5 Reasons to Use Mulch & Some Popular Varieties
Hi folks. Here's my top 5 reasons to use mulch on our garden beds. Have also done a quick run through some of the more popular types of mulch folks like to use on their gardens. Most don't cost much & many can be found for free if you're prepared to put in a bit of effort to collect them.
Have included a poll for you to vote on your favourite mulch, just to see what's the most popular type used by the YouTube grow your own community.
Hope you enjoyed the clip & your gardens are booming.

Root knot nematodes have been an ongoing issue for us in the garden over the past few years.. We have tried a few methods in controlling them & think we have finally found one that we will be using from now on.. Not only will this method help control the nematodes it will also help add organic matter back into the soil.. Another bonus is that we will be able to save the seeds from crop to crop giving us an almost endless supply of soil treatments for free..
More information can be found on this University of Florida page
http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ng045
Please note, that not all nematodes cause problems for gardeners/farmers.. Some are most beneficial in helping make organic matter into available food for your plants while others help control other pests in the soil..

G'Day Folks. Have made up three new wicking beds since the last update & now have them finally planted out. I also added in a quick look at how the latest wicking bed went together. ??
I must say that it feels great to be picking something for our meals from the patch once again.???
I also included a bit of a heads up on a short break I'll be taking from YouTube over the next few weeks so I can catch up on old YT comments & work around the place here.
Hope you enjoy this quick update & your gardens are booming. ? ??
Cheers all & shall see you in a few weeks.???

Hi Folks.
Just a quick video showing you what was picked for dinner from the aquaponics system & the tasty meal it made from way back in 2016.
Thought it might interest some of you new subscribers to have a quick look at the old system & wicking gardens down the back. ??
Cheers all & happy growing,
Rob.
