Knowing the benifets of duckweed as a feed source I would pray for "too much duckweed." Actually the stuff is hard to get rid of. The more you harvest the more...

I am just starting a new system. It is modeled after the one Trav. had in NC at the conference. Travis, I hope you think imitation is a compliment. Anyway,...
Hey Brett, Can't wait to see the pics of your system. Probably the easiest way I have found to get seeds started is to use the little peat pucks that swell up...
Hey Brian, I have not grown Koi commercially but have them in my system right now. There are about 6 of them along with 700 other fish in a 1000 gallon tank....
... If they grow out in around 6 months I think I will use the Koi as they are saleable for a good price at that size which will subsidise the new greenhouse....
Brian, I believe the system that you are planning was originally an S&S type system. Excellent design by the way. However, uses two pumps, one of the reasons...

Mitch, I gave up the grid type watering system years ago except to get lettuce started. I will try to upload to photo files in group today. For at least the...
I am new to this group and new to aquaponics. I would like to create a small system to grow duckweed using manure tea. What is the smallest set up I can...
I would guess you could grow duckweed in any size container from teaspoon to whatever. You can get it too concentrated. My experience is growing it in 1/2...
Hey Brett-- Bag it up in burlap (small batches) and ask the nearest teenager if he'd like to drive your car back and forth on it for a few passes :-)) ...
