who gardens the aquaponics way?

[Two_Sheds]

What sort of veg did you grow AG? I put most of my allotment down to pumpkins and French beans


(btw, retailers are more than welcome to advertise on this site: they need to pay the going rate)

actually no i wont post links to my site but tell you what ill post one to the aussie site.
you can find my site if you want to and no they dont have links to me either i just want like minded people to chat with in the uk as for space i meant the area of growbed i have exceeds the area of similar size in my allotment heres the link to the aussie one tho
and no this isnt me

I've removed the link, as how does anyone know that it isn't you?

You are free to discuss the method but please do not post any links. Thanks.

Now, could you answer the questions about what you grew, what space you had etc.

im sure ive seen a pic somwhere of a guy who grew a massive pumpkin using aquaponics, but the answer is almost any plant can be grown using aquaponics, im experimenting with potatos this year to see if i can grow them i have already grown carrots that way

Hi

You said 'since then ive been growing veg in that way and have had a ton more veg than from my allotment for the space thats used' - so we asked what did you grow, how much space did you use and what yields did you get?

It sounds from the post above that you haven't done any of this yet.

have had a ton more veg than from my allotment ...

That sounds brilliant!

Have you any photos we can see?

ok mod no probs on removing the link but if you had followed it im sure that if it was mine you would have seen that being on here would not have got me any customers as its a site in austrailia and i think postage would be a nightmare, but i suppose people will be able to look for it if they want to by searching and then finding any site that they want, and thats ok

I'm not really bothered to be honest.

What veg did you grow and what yields did you get, and what sort of area did you grow in?

[aquagirl]

no pics as i said for mod i wont advertise my stuff here but just point people in the direction the best site for pics and info is an austrailian site thats to do with backyard aquaponics theres also a youtube vid of a guy in america thats doing some sort of comune thing and they have grown 450000 kilo of veg on 3 acres using aquaponics oh and the aussie site tells you how to do it on a budget of about £50 to show you that you dont actually need to pay out huge sums of money if you dont want to hope that helps

ive been growing veg in that way and have had a ton more veg than from my allotment for the space thats used, ...

i wouldnt recommend aquaponics for the allotment even if they did allow fish, for a start you would need electic access for a decent pump and worst of all you would need security cause the fish would soon become a target even more than the veg is now lost a ton of veg last year to thieves grrrr

I'm so confused! You grew a ton of veg and you lost a ton of veg? Doesn't sound very productive to me!
Don't try to explain it - I don't think I'll understand that either!!

[zazen999]

It doesn't explain your claims in your opening post.

If you could please [for the last time] clarify - have you ever done this or have you just been hired to post links and over the internet to aquaponics websites?

[aquagirl]

veg grown so far is a long list but lettuce is fast cropping in summer cucumbers,tomatos,carrots,corgettes basil parsley elephant garlic onions leeks cabbages and more

as for yield i didnt buy much veg last year except for spuds broccoli and cauli

i have 1 system running at min and its a 500 ltr fish tank and 230 ltr growbed thats about 50" x 28"

[aquagirl]

no not paid to do this and i wont link to mine ever as i said and yes i grow this way thats it just wish more people did cya

[aquagirl]
