We have not so great soil on our property. We are looking into building an aquaponics system, and hope to have everything by spring. Our gardens have failed especially the last few years. Our grass isn't even the best. But we have to make the best of the scenereo.
I liked this video.Its short well explained .I key point you missed though is how to assemble the vertical gardens .Yours look unique from what ive seen elsewhere and i would have wanted to see you assemble them.
Great video, Collar Greens I'll remember that. I've had my Aquaponical system up and running for 4 months now and have found Rainbow Chard, Yellow Cherry Tomato, Red & Green Cos Lettuce grow really well in it. Cheers
In soil, chard is much more heat tolerant than lettuce, which is practically a winter annual. I need to germinate chard in the spring, but it will continue to grow and produce until deep freezes come. Lettuce bolts by mid June even in USDA zone 5, and can't germinate in warm weather. I value lettuce as a way to dilute the flavor of strong vegetables like watercress, arugula, or mustards and thereby make them more palatable, but unless you have trout farming conditions (cold water and probably air too), it is hard for me to consider it easy.
How well do legumes grow in an aquaponics system? I kind of imagine that they would do well, as long as the nutrients are there for them, but would that be the primary concern? I don't have a system yet. I'm still working on figuring out what will work with my space limitations.
Very great video. I'm listening to you aquaponics podcasts as well. Is there any concern on chemicals leeching into the system from all the PVC? I'm in northern Minnesota and would like to start with a small greenhouse aquaponics system but the winter will be a concern. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for all the great content!
So I would have thought the point of aquaponics is that it would be great for nutrient hogs. If it is just to save water then in a high rainfall area it isn't all that useful.
Great flic. Dude likes what he does and knows it. What more could a man desire? Oh to speak the languages of life on earth. Oh to say the words and use the vocabulary of those ways of life which we find most enjoyable. Oh to elect with happy heart and glad mind. Go!
Dr. Nate, Thanks a lot for your all informative videos till today I've seen lots of time. Sir, could you pls. mail me about the ratio of how many and what wait of fish we need for each plant. Another qes. is how many areas we need for each plan grow. pls. write to me for my best aquaponics to do. Manik, Bangladesh.
how do you manage nutrient deficiencies in an aquaponics system? can you supplement the nutrients required to the system or would that harm your fish? i know from my experience with aquascaping that copper will kill shrimp.
Great question. It really depends on what nutrient is lacking... here's a podcast series (Aquaponics Academy) Dr Nate did that should cover the question in a very in depth capacity: ua-cam.com/video/dpENi0T3Zeo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ZipGrow
China and Japan have been doing this for thousands of years....everyone has a large pond in their yard...gold fish. and you can eat the floating plants
There are many factors in books on aquaponics . One place I discovered which successfully combines these is this website here AquaSystem.xyz it's the most incredible guide i've seen on aquaponics. Check out all the awesome information .
Here in California much of the native soil is low in "fertility" and other things that equal low nutrition, so aside from potential ease of rot any native plant here should do well in aquaponics, such as sage, though unless the plant is something like strawberries which are from shady and costal parts of California, the plant should probably get an even smaller water flow as to not kill it, blueberries aren't s exactly small bushes, but they might be worth a try in aquaponics, sugarberry might be something to try too, but those are rather large so chances are it'll be too much of a hassle, while purslane isn't native it doesn't seem to mind the soil at all, and even at its largest it's still not too huge, though in its youth it might need more sprinkling than once established, and if you're growing from seed instead of cutting/leaf then you'll need 90F+ temperatures to propagate them, they should grow quickly as long as they aren't starved of water- even if they are they've surprised me before, no wonder they're often seen as a weed.
My aquaponic bed is going to be under a window, in a 65 gallon tub (south exposure). I am interesting in foliage plants that will consume a lot of nitrates, not really interested in vegetables. Any recommendations on plants? I have used Pothos, but I am not sure they are the best for purifying the water and looking really good to. Thank you
If you have a lot of light, there are really colorful cultivars of Amaranthus tricolor ("Joseph's Coat," "Molten Magma"...). You can eat them as potherbs, but don't have to. They are annuals though. (I also like Red Rubin basil, and maybe making a "tile work" pattern of purple-leaved vs regular green basils, if you have a horizontal grow bed). "Pesian Sheild" Strobilanthus is not edible but has really beautiful foliage. If it is less sunny, I might try Selaginella uncinata (peacock clubmoss) or various pepperomia species with patterned foliage, but I don't know if they have been tested in aquaponics.
Clay, nice catch! We found having some PVC rings handy (in those net pots) to fold off the drippers while we moved the Towers kept puddles at bay. (And kept our shoes dry...)
what is the best PH and PPM for the Aquaponic, if PH low or high what is the easy way to control if PPM low or high what is the easy way to control Thanks
Hi Kevin, thanks for the comment. Initially when plants are still young, they will all receive light equally. However, as the plants begin to mature, it will be a little more difficult for sunlight to reach the bottom of the tower. We would recommend laying down white plastic (in a greenhouse) along the ground to help with reflecting light back into the crop canopy.
Hi +Guillaume Dumont - I'm sure it's been done, but berry crops like that often like very acidic soils when grown in the ground and that can be difficult to replicate in an aquaponic system.
Hi, thanks for your question. Aquaponics is only one type of hydroponics production. (Remember: all aquaponics is hydroponics, but not all hydroponics is aquaponics.) We suggest the following blog post to understand more about their differences, pros and cons. zipgrow.com/what-is-hydroponics-a-brief-introduction/
Hi BA, I just saw your other video about stacked vs vertical farming. Very nice channel. My question is that i live in an apartment in nyc and want to grow greens at home. Do you sell the verticals for home? Thank you.
We do indeed, but you'll need to make sure you have enough light! The Farm Wall is a great option, but there are a lot of other home/hobby systems on the market today that might also fit your needs. Here's more info on the Farm Wall: farmwall.co
Is that aquaponics that is run on tubes after filtered pumped to top then runs down collects at bottom of towers at slope to a aquaponics fish at lower level ? Is there led set up in tubes of plastic string full spectrum LED lights if indoors ? For night production
Hi, thanks for yr video. What is the black coloured media that you have in yr towers? (I saw you pull it into one of the towers, in the beginning of yr video).
John Craftenworth, I didn't know it was possible for no one in an area to like those things (unless they simply don't have access)... Maybe buy a blender and sell strawberry kale smoothies to people, and simultaneously advocate ketosis to grow your crowd, then perhaps grow tumeric too and add it to those smoothies, might work.
I'm from Indianapolis Indiana and frequent many farmers markets in the area. Greens are a staple here and make appearances everywhere. I guess people just don't eat vegetables in your area. Unless it's more of an issue of them typically not being available anyway, by producer's choice, so people don't bother asking...
Here in rural Arkansas, I can sell yellow squash and cucumbers. Some corn but I couldn't sell leafy greens. I lost my butt on a half acre of blackberries. A few beets and red potatoes but lettuce is something that I gave away to sell something else.
Not sure! We don't deal with tropical crops too much, but there are lots of heat tolerant crops out there that would work. The real question is what do your "markets" want? What would be worth growing?
Excellent advise!! I have merchandised for over 45 years, and this is fact - if you can't sell "it"- you loose money PLUS all the time & effort in producing and marketing "it". Check what is selling at your local farmers markets, i.e., go early in the morning and later (before they close) and compare what you observed at the two visits. And talk to the venders!!! Best regards, Skip :}) 12/03/16
Yes, but if you have warm conditions, try a substitute (amaranth, New Zealand spinach, Lagos spinach, Brazilian spinach, possibly orach or "perpetual spinach" [which is just a wild-type Swiss chard, i.e. chard without the celery-like leaf stalks]) instead. Malabar spinach is a vine, so I don't think a tower system would work, but a UA-camr in Australia was growing it in a horizontal aquaponics bed. Spinach is definitely a cool season plant.
I was thinking of setting up a tfd system in my basement and running lots of saffron plants in a rotation in order to get year round production. any avice or tips on planting bulbs in a soilless system? any ideas about if this is even possible??
Sorry Luke - what is a tfd system? Not sure i understand the lingo there! In any case, saffron is a really tough one to grow and make any money on unless you have a lot of space and a lot of inexpensive labor.
I'm not trying to make money, I was just up for a challenge and I think they look pretty! I also don't know what tfd system means! I guess a typo but I don't know what else I was going to say!
It's not a great fit for hydro because it doesn't like "wet feet" - spinach like to have time to dry out. Some farmers have had success though so it's worth a shot if you want to experiment!
Some folks have had good luck with it, but we've always hated the stuff. I figure any crop where 55% germination rates are good isn't worth growing. :)
That explains a lot, I always wondered why we just didn't seem to have a lot of good luck with Spinach.. germination and establishing... now that explains it. Thank you.
In aquaponics systems, the nutrients being put into the system are kept at a relatively stable level by the plants. Fruiting crops, particularly the tomatoes and cucumbers you mention, are heavier feeders during the production of the harvestable crop, but increasing the nutrient levels to properly maintain those plants is not easily accomplishable.

Because American English isn't a language... it's a terrifying thing that follows languages down dark ally's, mugs them, then roots around in their pockets for loose grammar.
I agree, but let me tell you, "English" is a gutural tongue rather than a language, is unable to reproduce properly words or names from other languages, even when the majority of words are coming from other languages. Is an absolut barbarian language, created to speak with the mouth full of food, unfortunately. It is what it is...North Americans trash the language everywhere and they also trash history in Hollywood. LOL.

Hi @maltman4101 - CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It's a sales channel for a lot of local farmers. Learn more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community-supported_agriculture
Hey Alice, CSA is Community Supported Agriculture. Usually a farmer will gather a group of community members who buy a "share" of the produce for a season, then delivers their produce on a weekly or bimonthly basis. It's a neat way for farmers to make a living and for people to get local, healthy produce!

I believe that there is a type for water lines that's safe
For tomato it’s best to do a Dutch bucket
Too bad your website no longer exists.
Did you have ladybug 🐞
What is other friendly bugs you have ?
So I would have thought the point of aquaponics is that it would be great for nutrient hogs. If it is just to save water then in a high rainfall area it isn't all that useful.
Thought, grow that which likes cooler temps lower on the tower, therein closer to ground temp and further from warm water source.
Dr. Storey, you advise against growing fruiting crops like tomatoes and cucumbers. Why? Do they require different nutrients?
They're great crops to grow, they just require a different technique (bato buckets) and specific nutrient formulas to produce fruit.
Thank you for the video. Very helpful. 🙏
Great flic.

I wanted to know what other berries can be grown? Like raspberries, blueberries, blackberries...
Are you doing Aquaponics or hydroponics as the PH level with needs to be over 5.5 and berries like PH to be lower

Can someone please explain why americans say ERB instead of HERB?
Because Herb is a name..."Erb" is a plant...Anyways, English is an ugly language to name things....
Because American English isn't a language... it's a terrifying thing that follows languages down dark ally's, mugs them, then roots around in their pockets for loose grammar.
I agree, but let me tell you, "English" is a gutural tongue rather than a language, is unable to reproduce properly words or names from other languages, even when the majority of words are coming from other languages.
Is an absolut barbarian language, created to speak with the mouth full of food, unfortunately.
It is what it is...North Americans trash the language everywhere and they also trash history in Hollywood. LOL.
They love Urbosa

What's CSA?
Hi @maltman4101 - CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It's a sales channel for a lot of local farmers. Learn more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community-supported_agriculture
What is CSA?
Hey Alice, CSA is Community Supported Agriculture. Usually a farmer will gather a group of community members who buy a "share" of the produce for a season, then delivers their produce on a weekly or bimonthly basis. It's a neat way for farmers to make a living and for people to get local, healthy produce!
