Will the red wigglers survive in a non ebb and flood setup?? I tend to think the high water will over whelm and drown the worms. -- Sincerely Steven Pankratz ...
Hello Travis, I am curious to know what will you be feeding the fish in India? What will their diets consist of? Just curious to know what they will each in...
Duckweed is an option if available. BSF, water hyacinth, other aquatic plants, etc... It all depends on what's available and how creative a person can be....
Abdi and All, I have been studying and experimenting feeding tilapia with algae. The natural diet of Tilapia in the wild is 60% Blue-Green algae, 30% dead...
Ron, Where do u grow the algae. I am looking at it from large scale operations using the Virgin Islands aquaponics layout. Feeding the fish was a big issue in...
Mother Earth, --long ago did some tests and production raising Tilapia on just algae, -- it works, I tried it, -- it does take longer to get a sale-able fish,...
Too much work! I'd rather be growing stuff than be painting a barrel. Thanks anyway! Stan ____________________________________________________________ 53 Year...
Michael, That is interesting. I have experimented with aquaponics (very interesting), but have IT and little bio knowledge/experience. Some more practical...
I did an update of my first year gardening experience. The first 2 or 3 minutes features my aquaponics system. Though my system is a "hybrid" (I call it that...
My impulsive reaction is to agree with Stan. Realistically, though, I'd probably have a LOT less problems with my Home Owners' Association if I'd be a little...
Right now, I am growing the Chlorella in an 8 gallon tank and a 3 gallon tank. My tilapia tank is also staying somewhat green on it's own... it is in the ...
Ha... yeah I told my wife I am starting a pickle diet. If I eat enough pickles, should keep me from eating other higher calorie stuff. We will see. ...
Ron - Just a suggestion, but if you have a "freecycle" yahoo group in your area, you might be able to get more pickle containers without eating them all...
Kris, I use freecycle, but think very few people look at the "wanted" items. I have tried to get plastic 2 liter bottles and no one responded... there have to...
KRIS AND RON.......TRY INQUIRING AROUND RESTAURANTS AND HOAGIE SHOPPES THAT USE THOSE 2 GALLON OR 1 GALLON MAYO JARS..... THEY'RE HEAVY DUTY PLASTIC, AND...
Ron On the 2-liter pop bottles - could be because they are recyclable - in this economy - people tend to hang on to them - at least here in California they do...
Susan/All, Thank for the idea for getting jars at the deli. I had contemplated lurking on the pickle isle at Sams and wait for people that buy pickes... then...
Good Morning, Ron Have you tried extra-long forceps - our hardware store sells then as incidentals to engine repair - 8-10 inches long. I would think putting...
Great idea Dave... thanks! ________________________________ From: pollinator2001 <gardenbees@...> To: barrelponics@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wed, November 9,...
The biggest problem is that the diameter of either a nut or a fitting is greater than the mouth diameter of the bottle or the hole diameter of the fitting...
Ron - You might take a look at "uniseals";. Aquatic Eco-Systems sell them. They allow you to drill a hole in a pipe, tank, bucket, etc., place in a uniseal,...
For all the people that have active systems, can you please give the pipe size diameters are you using? Would you do things differently if you could do it...
Kelee, Great idea. Well the Uniseal will not work on 2 liter bottles because it requires a thickness of at least 1/8". However, something similar might be ...
