I was there that night at Dodgers stadium watching the fireworks

Very awesome. Just wish they'd turn off the lights.

The grand finale was about 500 aerial shots with 1.2g as well as 1.3g grade fireworks. Perhaps the loudest fireworks ever in that 4th of July show there.

My son went onto the field after last nights win over Baltimore and said it was awesome

Cool

planning on something similar with a van

they are real. and they're coming for you

Hope you get it done I would love it if when it is you put out a video of it

Don't worry about it just clean the Marimo ball and it will become back to normal

They are some sort of thing covering it

looks like good old 240P again

it bee nice if you show us the inside of that hive you build , just to see how you lay it out

yh crabs infestation to topup my card press 1 to top up my number press 2

its like the blob lol but green

Just the top bars, I will see if I can get my husband to videotape when I go to inspect the hives next. I do have a wooden cover on top of the bars to help prevent rain and wind from getting in and making the bees sick. Hubby is afraid of the bees but I will see what I can do. My next hive inspection is next saturday I check on them every other saturday. I am also in the process of making another half barrel hive, this one has a clear window on the side for observation I will post it later

thank you so much for these concepts of bee hives. I see you are using the top bar method. do your hives have slats at the top? I live in LA and every year I can tell when the bees are swarming. They hit me on the head n search every nook n cranny of my house n yard for a spot. This time I would like to give them somewhere to hive. so, whats inside your hives b4 the bees? Thanks again.

@JKDspirit LMAO

In order to qualify for a Service Dog you must be disabled according to the ADA which means that you must be "substantially" disabled, the dog then must be individually trained to perform tasks that you can not do for yourself. Jake does retrieves for me but also assists me with mobility because I walk with a wide unstable stance and fall frequently, for me a cane is of little option because I rarely know where it is in relation to my gait, jake has never let me fall!

Nice story! Keep on rockin.

Tell you'r son. GREAT JOB!!! HAHA

your system looks great nice job and the crawdads that reproduce by them self thats great. would make a good supply of them but, what do you do with all of them when time to harvast?

@cylyntblu Depending on where you live, you could use your pond as a growout. youtube search Florida tilapia farm, there is about eight videos.

Hi, congratulations, can you please tell me how big the pots are in the area where you have it set up like a hydroponic system, I am a little confused about the pot size. Also what is the size of your gravel? Congratulations again

they could be planaria small white worms mostly caused by uneaten food in the water they are harmless but reproduces rapidly so you could have maybe one, one day and the next day 100+ What i would do is stir the gravel and let the fliter get them or i would remove the gravel, move the fish to another tank, clean the gravel and tank thurougly. after that replace the water wait 5-6 hours for the water to lose chemicals that could be harmful to the fish. return fish to tank. they should be gone

he means the little white things moving around

If they are bitter that is because the system is still too new and there are not enough nutrients or the nutrients available to the plants fluxuates dramatically. When my system was new that was the case but not that is is over a year old that is no longer a problem

have you tasted your cucumbers? On my green house they came out really bitter, three different types!

they are a procambus sp called marmokrebs they are the only known species of cray to be 100% female

you can start as expensive or as cheap as you like. my first little setup were 18 gal rubbermaids with kitty litter trays! the pond is irrelevant here except as an irrigation source, just too big for aquaponics use since there is no way to increase the fish borne nutrients, but you could set up a series of trough like run ways filled with gravel and a pump from the pond to the runway with another spillway back into the pond??? not sure there could be enough nutrient but it could work

What do you feed your craw fish?

The number of fish is directly proportional to the size of the fish and the plants in the system. If the amonia levels become too high, I take fish out, too low I add fish. I use the free amonia levels more than Nitrite/nitrate to stabilize the system. I notice an amonia spike when the fish spawn as well.

sorry for the delay in answering. Nitrate/nitrite can be a problem in the riverbed only if I replace too many plants at one time as the beneficial bacteria cling to the plant roots. The NFT is run constantly to prevent the water in the channels from becoming too hot or too cold damaging the roots. We have intensely high PH here so I put a couple of pieces of grapevine in the tanks to make the water more acidic.

the nutrient problem was due to insufficient fish load in the tank. worm tea and compost tea can be used in very tiny amounts as too much is harmful to the fish. In the riverbed the water flow MUST be constant, in the warmer months a periodic flow would cook the roots, in the cooler months the water could freeze, both being detrimental to the plants. Twice I have lost plants in the riverbed due to pump failure (clogged by snails) and the water in the riverbeds became suprisingly HOT very fast.

These are Procambis sp that is all the info I have but there are several procambis that are not typically self cloning. I often have some available for sale at $5 ea plus shipping, I always send 1 or 2 extra in orders of 4 or more, because I can not guarantee live delivery due to occasional mishandling by the post office. I can send next day but priority flat rate takes 2-3 days and they often arrive fine, but I won't ship again till late March to avoid them being frozen along the trip.

Where exactly did you get those crawdads and if possible can you give me the name slang or scientific is fine, and also what exactly do you feed them? I was interested in doing crawdads but didn't want to mess with reproduction for a grow out system. It would be nice to have some self cloning ones.

In the begining I had to keep close track on the system, but the biggest thing to watch is actually the ammonia levels, the nitrite and nitrate will eventually take care of themselves over time. The numbers of fish varies in accordance with size of fish and number of plants in the system. You have to play with the numbers if the ammonia levels get too high either stop feeding the fish for a few days, use some of the water from the system to water other plants and top off or remove some fish

I have the greenhouse set to where the long side is facing E to W so that it receives the most available sunlight. I have strawberries in the bottom so they do just fine in there. I have been picking strawberries for the past month now... yummy. I will have to check out the pond at harbor freight but I have to calculate the liner dimensions I need for the pond on the side of the greenhouse which is nearly done. I have been giving lettuce away to my friends and local food bank.

I am in Southern California and mine is similar to yours. The plastic sheets look like corrigated cardboard which I really like because they provide some insulation for the system so that the temps dont swing as much. So far it has held up quite nicely but since we get some pretty high winds here I had to bolt it to the cement pad and I also made sure that the door was not on the side of the prevailing winds so that it didnt have so much push force if the door were open. I have gravel in tubs

Cover up the fish tank.. It helps to bring back the alge.

I have one of my other systems on solar with 75 watts of panels set up. It drains the 2 deep cycle batteries during the night and I have ruined 2 sets of batteries that way. I recently found out that if I rewire the array to series/paralell that I will double my output so will be doing this soon. I am also working on building a wind generator to help with electricity costs. The Tilapia are spread between 3 systems with the largest being 300 gal.

I have solar panels running one of the pumps but it drains the 2 deep cycle batteries totally during the night and I have killed 2 sets trying to keep it running on solar only. I just found a way to rewire the array to double the output and will be doing that soon. The array will be wired in series/paralell instead of simply series. The 300 tilapia are split between 3 tanks the largest tank is 300 gallons. The formula changes depending on whom you are talking too...

I say go for another riverbed system. Your video, along with others I have seen, have really inspired me to try this either in my kitchen or my patio. If you make another riverbed system....could you show us how to make...that would be greatly appreciated!

I am still working on that, so far I have had to buy out of state for all but my Tilapia. Can get expensive. I know of one gentleman who sells hybrid male fry tilapia for $125 for 50 that is still more than I want to pay. I have tried to contact some local hatcheries but none have returned my calls or emails.

My uncle just gave me 3 "franeup" framing kits to make 3 more really cheap. Should use about 24 2x2's for the frame and then with heavy mil clear plastic sheeting should be able to cover it cheaply also. but that is for another project...LOL The gravel is just all purpose gravel from home depot at $2.47 for a 50# bag. any coarse gravel will work, just dont do lava rock, too hard to clean once in the system, roots grow right thru it and it hurts your hands to dig around in.

no, the riverbed system was my design baised on several single story designs you see online. I want to maximize the available space in the greenhouse and couldnt afford to make one out of square fencing... was actually shocked at the price of the pipe and end caps... WOW. The way I did it the whole thing cost less than $100 never kept track on the price as I went, suppose I should have. Will be making 2 more soon for a 60gal tub outside dedicated to strawberries

What an awesome design! Can't wait to see the progress and the end result too!

Did you make the riverbed system yourself or was it a kit?

Harbor Frieght has the BEST price on a standing greenhouse. What kind of pea gravel do you use and where do you buy it?

I say play with it! But, I am being selfish because I've been making the poorman's unit. I think you will get a bigger yield out of the riverbed unit. Great video!
