Testing out Duck TV (and chickens too, they all like the duck-a-ponics system) If you like Duck TV and want to see Fish TV, please donate to the fund so I can afford some live web cameras for the fish tanks. Your browser does not support iframes. This is a live web cam . . . → Read More: Duck TV-post Ya heard it here first. Stock Tank Ponics or Stocktank a ponics however you want to say it. I’m working on a kit that will help people build their own Stock tank aquaponics system similar to my 300 gallon system. This would be a kit providing all the kinda specialty parts that might be hard . . . → Read More: Stock-Tank-Ponics Kit So this isn’t quite aquaponics but Duckaponics. See the kiddie pool or whatever else we would use to give water to the ducks would get so nasty so fast and hand to be dumped and washed every other day and was such a waste of water. So when a neighbor brought us an old . . . → Read More: Duck A Ponics I thought everyone would like to see the growth of the plants in the 300 gallon aquaponics system over the past 18 days. It’s looking pretty good now that I’ve added some netting to keep the neighbor chickens from eating the seedlings. I’ve adjusted some things so that the aquaponics system is now operating . . . → Read More: 300 Gallon system Jan 20, 2011 Video Well at the beginning of 2011 the 300 gallon aquaponics system looked a bit empty on the plant life but the fish were doing well.

It is winter here and my systems . . . → Read More: Fish Kill Cold morning Dec 6 2009 Here is a picture from last winter inside the greenhouse. It was cold out early in the season last winter but things were still moderate enough inside the greenhouse to keep the tropical plants alive at least early in the season. This winter is different with no protection . . . → Read More: Picture from last winter I met James Godsil at Sweet Water Organics while I was up in Milwaukee last week. Sweet Water Organics is an ambitious effort to utilize an old warehouse property to create something similar to Growing Power’s urban community building food production system. Biggest challenge I see for Sweet Water Organics is light. It takes a . . . → Read More: Sweet Water Organics Sorry no pictures on this one, Growing Power doesn’t allow it. First let me say that I think Growing Power is a wonderful organization and I love what they are doing in general.
