Hi all... I am in the process of designing my AP system to go into a greenhouse - hide it all from the monkeys! I was wondering what the optimum depth of the...
There is not much advantage to going over 12-16in deep on the grow beds. You could grow in as little as the depth of a gutter with an inch of gravel in the...
Very helpful. Thanks so much Paul. Once I convert to metric I will really know what I am doing... he! he!.... figure about 30cm. My little converter said...
I have not tried bananas but as soon as my greenhouse is built those will go in. Â Having grow beds of different depths is problematic using the same dump...

Hello Aron, You may have a problem with injuries because of the bullying. If you have males in there with females and the water temp is right you can have...
Your description sounds like the fish are receiving injuries, then becoming infected and becoming a target for everyone once they're weakened. Bullying of...

A few days ago I found frog eggs in the rainwater in my wheel barrow and in some other standing water. I need to make a place for those tadpoles to grow. And...
If using the black plastic sheeting and any exposure to the sun you will have cooked tadpoles. I would find something a little better seasoned. Tadpoles...
