Thank you so much for the great tips. I’ve converted a 25m swimming pool into an aquaponic system and I have no idea what I’m doing, but you do! You’ve saved me a lot of hard work! Cheers.
I planted legume beans once in a small basket on the side, it grew like mad and was producing more beans than I could eat lol, it's a mad crop if you have a place for it
Pretty rad that you have us some warnings about plants that might not be worthwhile for people growing on a larger scale. I am not but I still would like to learn as much as possible
Wait a minute - I thought I was watching a wrong video - instead of what plant to grow - he started with what not to grow. Anyway great video. Keep it up 👍
Yes for some root crops areoponics seem to be the best like potatoes but there's also iAVS "sandponics" corn and carrots do well in these systems along with other root crops plus the sand beds when done right are a solids filter/bio-filter, along with adding vital minerals that normal aquaponics is missing and a bunch of other stuff There's also drz "dual root Zone" bags in a media bed work well and you can add additives that you wouldn't add into a fish system
Great video. Possible for you to make a video, taking about Getting fish for the first time for the water tank. Type of water needed for aquaponics system. Ratio of How many fish inside litres of water etc.
I'm here looking for something other than houseplants to grow out the back of my big guppy tank. Thinking something perrenial and that likes a pH of 7.4 with plenty of hardness.
Do think a group of people could build a 30 story aquaponics skyscraper/vertical farm/grocery store in 10 years or do you think it's more like 20 or would a warehouse size be the biggest we'll get to? Although I did see they're doing something similar in Singapore.
7:20 basil. Love basil. Commercial grower here and basil grows like a weed in our system. But marketing fresh basil is tough. It gets spotty in the fridge in about 3 days Happens in a bag, or stored in the open. How do you handle the one thing in my GH that makes me want pizza?
I had some decent success with cherry tomatoes in a net pot hanging from the inner side of my patio goldfish tub this summer. They weren't as vibrant as the soil planted vines, but the aquaponic ones were started from suckers I pinched off the soil grown plant, so they were playing catch up from the start.
Just remember that all Mentha species & hybrids are thugs. You can easily grow mint. What is more difficult is growing other herbaceous plants if not completely isolated from the mint.
Great insight, could you not grow carrots in sand and have a wicking action, if to many people grow the quick simple leafy greens would this not then drive your profits down, I'm in England so don't have the long growing seasons so a lot of places then need to use light, I've been toying with the idea once I have time to try out hydroponics but to grow root crops. 👍👍👍
Yes. I haven’t experimented much with wicking beds but am familiar. It’s all about cost/space ratio. You could probably make them work for you some way.
@@NewAgrarian i can see people jumping on the band wagon for climate stuff and them telling us to reduce our meat intake i can see more people setting up in the hydro or aquaponics because they think its the next gold mine. Ive been following hydro for a while but never get time to give it a bash.👍
I've tried talking to family and some friends about aquaponics. What's s good way to talk to them without them being grossed out or worrying about your mental health? They don't understand the science behind how waste is converted into fertilizer and how it's safe when it comes to pathogens because fish don't carry Salmonella or E. Coli...
There is a much better way to grow root crops with hydroponics... you have the potatoes suspended in the air and you spray water at the roots, this is called aeroponics, look it up
Thank you so much for the great tips. I’ve converted a 25m swimming pool into an aquaponic system and I have no idea what I’m doing, but you do! You’ve saved me a lot of hard work! Cheers.

We're converting our lap pool. How's yours doing?
Thanks for your valuable comments on Aquaponics

Lettuce, nak choy, leafy greens, kale, basil .. thank you for the valuable experience and knowledge.
You are a good instructor. Very informative e.
By far the best aquaponics channel I've found
🤘🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Thanks for the video mite try some basil my dad used to grow this very easy bk in the day on a window ledge
great advice ...and basil is my favorite
Great explanation son....well done!!

I like that

pure gold advice

Great information. Thanks bro
Thank you for information
You’re welcome

Although I did see they're doing something similar in Singapore.
Yeah I think that’s very possible. People are already doing amazing stuff
I was from Singapore and can tell you that it is not financially feasible
@@siewmj1 hmm okay
Thanks for letting me know
7:20 basil. Love basil. Commercial grower here and basil grows like a weed in our system.

Happens in a bag, or stored in the open.
How do you handle the one thing in my GH that makes me want pizza?
I wrap the stems of basil in a wet paper towel like a bouquet … will stay good for at least a week.
I am watching this video from Bangladesh.
Thanks
Can i ask you how you package your profit crops? We found once the lettuce is out of the water, it wilts pretty quickly. 🙌
I leave some of the roots on and wrap them around the Rockwool cube. Also tell customers a wet paper towel in the package will extend life
good info tnx
Of course
Great Video, Does aquaponics really provide all nutrients needed for the leafy greens at least? Did you have the need to add nutrients to the system?
You need to add a few normally, the most important is probably iron. I have a video on that topic

They weren't as vibrant as the soil planted vines, but the aquaponic ones were started from suckers I pinched off the soil grown plant, so they were playing catch up from the start.
Bro what of tomatoes please
מעולה!
Thanks, great video. Is it viable peppermint? (works also in cocktails, tee).
Yes

Hallo saya dari indonesia. Saya akan banyak belajar dari anda

You’re right about the prices as well. Thing is not many people do it at all right now

@@ricardo-iw9sq absolutely agree
hello sir, do you use geomembrane HDPE tarpaulin for your floating raft system
I've tried talking to family and some friends about aquaponics. What's s good way to talk to them without them being grossed out or worrying about your mental health? They don't understand the science behind how waste is converted into fertilizer and how it's safe when it comes to pathogens because fish don't carry Salmonella or E. Coli...
Show them this channel.. lol..
Is it viable to farm chili in aquaponic system?
How about Water crest?
Don’t see why not
Isn't kale also a brassica, like broccoli, that bugs love to eat?
Yes
Where do you get the floating beds styrofoam??? Thanks
Local hardware store
Ok I just wanted to make sure that we can use them. Thanks
Is the quantity of water from the fish tank the same as the water on the grow beds?
Good question. Fish tanks are 1,800 gallons, beds are slightly more.
what about Arugula?
I’ve grown it and tried to sell. Flavor is not as popular as others. And if you wait too long to harvest it becomes too spicy
how about coriander?
Grows well
How big is each raft

Hi I’ll like to get in contact with you I need som help on my aquaponic project I’m building.
What about tomatoes to grow?
I like cherries, edox variety
Do you have a city nearby, where u can sell ure products?
Not at the moment, what are you looking for?
What about peppers and tomatoes.
They are good too. The leafy greens are just faster
Can i grow tomatoes here? If not, why not?
Yes
Can you grow potato
Yes in media beds
What's the size of your wrath is there a two by four or four by eight
4x8
How did you manage to sell lettuce for $3 per head
Like every grocery store, only grown in front of people
@@NewAgrarian i see. $3 per head is actually quite affordable conpared to the retail price
There is a much better way to grow root crops with hydroponics... you have the potatoes suspended in the air and you spray water at the roots, this is called aeroponics, look it up
Not bad but totally left out good plants to keep bugs away etc
Also totally ignored sand bed growing.
can u grow weed in aquaponics?
Yes
Wasabi is a really profitable one
bruh said zucchini 😂
😂😂😂
$3 for one Bok Choy?! Who the heck pays that much?!
Lotta people
You look like a farmer! You can starve for two weeks and still live!
Love the positivity
