What a great idea. I actually have some of these buried under an old barn that fell down. Now I have a reason to dig them out.
I would reinforce the corners with some metal strapping. Cool to see what I was hoping could be done.
I did pretty much this exact same thing 14 years ago back in 2012 (3/4" ply bottoms, VERY thick PP liner, concrete footers for base). Talk about a ton of work! Lasted great up until recently. Somehow, somewhere there is a leak / hole seemingly in the PP liner, not even sure how it would have happened. Pulled back the gavel but haven't been able to locate it. Also, all 3 beds started leaking at the hole where the syphon drain was. Once they start leaking the ply is quickly ruined and can't get them to seal back up.
I thought he was moving and installing those incredibly heavy boxes by himself because no one else was there, then i see people in the background lol. Nice work there! I saw some advice that might work for some folks. If you are lining a pond with plastic, only attach one side of the plastic to wood to hold it, then fill with water. Let water fill entire space, then fasten lining all the way around. In terms of a food grade hydro/aquaponics plastic lining, Duraskrim or some similar material might be worth investment...
Absolutely agree on buying extra...not just screws but pretty much everything. I can't count the times I've donecomplete projects by using things from my own little hardware store.
totally...I even call my shop the hardware store now :-)
Your my hero now man,this video is a gem,cant wait for the next one.
Very good
Good call putting the furthest one in first, it makes you work less the more tired you are.
There are several factors in studying aquaponics. One place I discovered which successfully combines these is the Keiths Ponics Site (check it out on google) definately the no.1 course i've heard of. look at this amazing website.
interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out aquaponics at home try Tarbetti Amazing Aquaponics Tutor (just google it ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.
*@Tim Scott* Here's a great aquaponics system that I currently use: AquaSystem.xyz
@Todd McCarter I have spent months studying home aquaponics and found a great website at Keiths Ponics Site (google it if you are interested)
Question: After the growing cycles and it's time for cleaning, how do you handle that you have 100's of pounds of stone on a breachable liner? Doesn't it have to be removed to clean?... or what?
Wow! I don't want to be your back! Ouch! Thumbs up for you Martian!
Thank you for your generosity. I'm curious about starting a small scale system.
Appreciate you sharing the video! Any tips on drilling the liner and putting in the drains without messing up the whole thing? Also what type of plastic is it, polyethylene?
Am i the only one wondering what music he is listening to while working....my imagination says Eye of the tiger on repeat. lol. dudes a beast!!! If everyone worked as hard as this guy then the world would be much better off. thanks for the vid. Im kind of addicted to these type of videos. they make me tired. lol
Very nice work mate, cant wait until its in full production.
Can roots be constantly in water?
The thing about planning ahead is really interesting. Here in Germany, even in the "countryside", you have almost everything just a few km away. There is some planning of course, but not a big problem if you forget something. Can you tell us a bit how it is to live "in the middle of nowhere" and what that means with respect to "daily" shopping, access to medical service etc. and how it affects the overall life? How fast is the delivery service in such a remote area? I doubt that UPS or FedEx would visit you every day.
yeah I'll do a video on this in the future per your request
Superman....good job
Smooth mobile home roofing..Can be used -to replace that osb and it will not rot away in two or three years ..-like what you are doing, now ..-is going to happen.. water inside of that plastic ..-potentially-is going to create wetness against that OSB ..and it’s not going to last you.. as..- did not coat.. it, with anything.. 👍I did what you did and it rooted- through.. in 3 yrs
Prior planning prevents poor performance
❤ May I ask, how much is the thickness of liner?
Thanks for all videos 💪💪💪

diatasnya tanaman hidroponik media tanam pot berupa arang sekam, kompos, MANURE kering menjadikan tanaman cepat tumbuh tinggi gemuk daun lebat lebar buah besar banyak dan banyak nutrisi apabila sering dipanen tanaman akan segera tumbuh lagi seperti sawi brokoli kangkung bayam kol seledri kocai tomat lombok wortel kentang kacang tanah dll
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
looking good Mr Martian, the hard work is already paying off. Looking forward to the next videos. Thanks for sharing
Thanks friend
Great video ! very useful and informative video about diy aquaponics grow bed, Very nice work mate, cant wait until its in full production, I really like this video , Thanks for sharing..
Great project, thank you for sharing your ideas and progress
What are the dimensions please?
How do sunlight comes in? Is it transparent?
excellent work wish you all the best keep it going
I do agree with you: always doble the number of fasteners to buy...
There are many factors in learning home aquaponics. One place I found that successfully combines these is the Keiths Ponics Site (check it out on google) definately the most incredible course i've seen. look at this interesting site.
Whats the name of the black plastic?
What type of green house are you using ?
Very good 👍👍
Very sucsess information
Isn't it beneficial to run the water through a UV filter to suppress the algae?
Edward McKinnon I don't know anything about aquaponics, but I would imagine that the UV filter would be great for the water you're able to pull out, but the algae would probably stick to a lot of the rocks and still continue to grow in the existing water.
UV will kill the beneficial bacterias that makes aquaponics work.
Can you please tell me the thickness of the pond liners?
18K subs 308 views. Sad. I watch every video (at least try) even if the subject bores me. Loving these construction videos.
really appreciate your support...you've been here since the beggining
Using wood is a continueal cost. Why most dont subscribe.
Hello Mrs Martian 👍
What are the measurements of the grow beds, and what rack system did you use?
Fricken COOL!!!!!
I might be a bit late and you might not even need them if all your beds have the wire underneath them all. But, IF you find yourself joining sheets of plywood together and you don't want them sagging individually this is the part you need to check into:
www.fastenal.com/products/details/0226543
They are called plywood clips and they work like a charm with no additional labor.
you were close ;-)...great idea...thank you. I never knew those existed
I love you man! i was about to spend 800.00 on a floating raft bed. Then I saw the idea of using the pallet racks. Its brilliant! Found one for 100.00. Have you ever had an issue with the wood abrasiveness and the need for a barrier for the plastic? Also what mil plastic did you use brother man?
Great video. If you dont wear headphone you dont have to yell at the camera.
What kind of pallet racks are you using. What kind of weight spec ...please do let me know.
Rất tuyệt vời ☺️👍❤️🤝👍🔔
Is that chip board? What will happen to it when you a leak?
what kind of liner? Where to get it?
That sytaple gun will give you a "mans" hand shake lol ;) if you are able, I would love to see a time lapse of the greens growing when you get ready to plant :)
it's hard right now to get the timelapse...no time lapse camera that I can easily setup. I'll see what I come up with because that is a cool idea
cut them outside, assemble them inside!
Excellent
why did you paint them with a polyester paint??
What kind of pond liners are you using?
HDPE
Amanecí con you Finish complete HD videos nice
like the song goes...moving ahead so life won't pass me by.
Is that painters plastic you’re using for “pond/bed” liner?
Melody and Papa Bear I'd like to know this too.
10 mil plastic from Home Depot from the looks of it. $50/roll
Did the same and it leaks a lot.
its actually "pond liner", they do sell a limited selection of sizes at places like home depot. For specific sizes better off ordering online, pond store or hydroponics shop.
Hey have you thought of going vertical?
He's an adult. I'm sure he's don'e growing.
Have to wonder why you didn't build the second and third ones on top of the first, so you didn't have to lean over as much...
I needed a nice flat surface to build them and it was just easier (more space) when I was doing them on the boards on the ground....the one on top took a little more "precision" :-)
güzel
Are you using treated lumber?
Thanks for your videos
not on the grow beds. We opted to paint them
Was it for the cost advantage or for avoiding the treatment?
cost advantage and then in the end...ag folks required us to paint all wood surfaces, regardless of treated or not
TheRealMartian You had to paint the inside wood too?
New subscriber. Smart fellow and one strong son-of-a-bitch. No offense intended. Enjoyed your presentation. Down to earth. Thanks MAN.
What size is the boxs
When you drill the holes for the drains does the sawdust not go into the fish water?
can't sneak anything past you :-) yes it does...that is unavoidable because I have to measure the drill hole in place due to the wire racking and it's position relative to the center of the bed.

Hey how did you get so many views?
I've been researching into aquaponics and found a fantastic resource at Keiths Ponics Site (google it if you're interested)
I'm not sure but ,if anyone else wants to uncover
do fish need light aquaponics
try Proutklarton Surviving Instruction Plan ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my buddy got amazing success with it.
Why have you stopped wearing your back brace? You do not want to further injure your back. Trust me, I used to think it was no big deal. Fast forward to the present, I have been suffering for over two years and had to go on disability. I live every day in some level of pain, tolerable at best, medicated at worst. The prudent wear of a back brace would have made a world of difference. Just friendly advice, you are an inspiration to many and I would not like to see your dream ended.
really appreciate your concern for me and the advice. you'll see a response to you, and others, who have asked but BLUF: I try to let me body do as much as it can and then I add the belt. My Grandfather had a belt and wore it way too much and ended up hurting himself more then helping so I'm super sensitive to it.
I'm not sure but ,if anyone else wants to discover aquaponics at home try Fast track grower (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my partner got cool success with it.
get some friends buddy. they good for some company and carrying those bins...lol.. :P
Great video. Horrible music.
walking and filming at the same time doesn't work
