I thought of that to supply the aquaponics system but water collected that way would no longer contain any trace minerals, right? (because minerals do not rise...
We got in a hurry to get our system set up and didn't wash the pea gravel we bought at the local quarry. The water was cloudy for a while, but eventually...
It depends. Minerals are a lot easier to put in to water that it is to make salt water into fresh water. You need some basics - a little magnesium and calcium...
Such a cute idea. :) Went to your site and took a look. Neat. Amazing how one idea leads to another. You think it would work for strawberries? Chelle...
I searched for posts about aphids, and saw something about hot pepper spray or garlic spray. I looked at my commercial hot pepper spray and it said it could...
I absolutely think it would work for strawberries! I don't know if it would work as well for plants that are continually harvested, like lettuce, but I think...
does anyone have an old timey milk separator ? DeLaval or McCormic # 18 ? growing worms to feed fish Thanks Lenn ... From: ElfNori <elf@...> Subject:...
So, let me get this right....the plant roots grow into, and behind the flooring felt and the plywood backerboard? I saw your concerns about the ply rotting-a...
The roots grow between the plywood and the felt and, to a certain extent, into the felt. I saw a picture somewhere on the internet of the back side of the...

I have to mention some toxicity issues with epoxy - some people are so sensitive to the stuff that all they have to do is get into the same room with some...
My bad - I was thinking of cement board ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_board ) - blueboard is used for the same thing but is a different material. Greg...
Hi ElfN, I would love for you to send links that influenced you concerning vertical walls. I looked at your webpage - the cookies seem doable for me - but I...
I take your point about the toxicity. I would I could heat/pressure impregnate plywood with wax, though ironing it in works pretty well. I worry about using...
Bobby Ray, I spent DAYS doing internet searches on vertical walls. I ready every page I could find, watched every video and slide show available . . . Patrick...
If it was me, I would skip the staples altogether - they are just going to rust through in a few weeks anyway. Get a tube of aquarium sealant, and put a thick...
Doing that would limit the room the plant roots have to grow. Blanc uses staples, ergo I use staples. If the staples rust out I'll know by this time next...
How would it limit the room for plants to grow? I'm talking about using it just around the edges - mainly the top and sides - perhaps a strip of sealant 1-2...
If you don't fasten the felt around the plant with a few strategic staples there's nothing to hold the plant in place. I'll try and get some good pictures...
Hi Briit, This is my first post here. From what I've read, there seems to be a lot of mis-information about Tilapia. For Barrelponics aquaponics, Aquaculture,...

Hi eveyyone, This is my first post here and I hope I don't offend anyone! I am hoping to dispell some myths about tilapia. MOST tilapia are genetically...
Dear Greg, I cant see throwing whole milk away when I can seperate it. I make cheese with the cream... I use the rest to feed worms,,,feed worms to the...
I guess my next question is why throw whole milk away? Greg H. . Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing...

I have no experience with the vertical wall yet but I really like the idea of 2 layers of felt. I would go one step further and ask why not get rid of the...
Give it a try and see what you think. Sometimes the only way to really know is to give it a try. You may find the lack of a backer to hold the felt flat may...
