I love how passionate you're doing this. From how you explain things I can learn that you love ❤️ what you do. You're a Gem 💎, I enjoy watching your videos from the oldest to the newest. I can never get tired of watching Aquaponics and hydroponics farming. BEAUTIFUL 😘
Olá murray!não tenho um sistema de aquaponia, mas dizem que o melhor é o da gente, mas o seu sistema é magnífico e as suas explicações são perfeita obrigado por compartilhar conhecimentos é Mestre abraço 🙏🇧🇷
Hey Murray, you tried growing some moringa trees on your property? They make excellent feed for plant eating fish and tend not to be short in iron and calcium like feed for the fish tends to be. It is known as the most nutritious plant on dry land. Also try growing tree collards in aquaponics.
That's one thing we have an overabundance of here in Maine is fresh spring water. I Use a ram pump to get the water about 100 yards to my 2000 gallon storage tanks. Hang in there Murray.
Nice tour Murray. I do aquaponics over here in Trinidad &Tobago. We are in the middle of our rainy season, with floods in some areas. Wish we could send you some of this water. Lol
Nice tour Murray. I'll be coming to do an in person tour soon. Really looking forward to it and I hope there are still plenty of plants in the systems. Sorry to hear about the water situation. I can't find statistics on how much water Aquaponics uses in comparison to soil gardening. Do you have any figures?
Yes, it is generally accepted the Aquaponics uses only 10% of the water needed to raise/grow the samp plants in a regular soil situation. We would have run out of water a year ago if doing regular soil growing.
When you mentioned sand bed. I couldn't help think: "what's the secret? 3/4 inch gravel. Then people go away thinking silly old cow. Then they go and use sand or some other diabolical mixture.
I am glad you have such a good knowledge of the videos. Trying something new to see how it works. If an idea comes along that may have merit I will give it a try which is what I am doing here.
@@MurrayPonics It was the one where you were closing down the system due to lack of water and also had just put some now fish tanks in for your sand bed system. Also how do you find the sand system I have yet to try it I have only a very small system but am looking at going a lot bigger over the next year or so Thanks Mate
Very nice system, plants are very healty :) About water production: I see some small setups with "Solar Panel electricity" and "Big Humidifier" used like water generator. You have a very big system but if you scaled-up maybe work.
@@MurrayPonics since aquaponics use less water than soil garden catching the humidity is great idea.. set one up to grab the water that just evaporated
Amazing job Murray! I love your taro! Dio
It is the best. I need you to teach me how to cook it properly!!
@@MurrayPonics You will love it, i promise

You are very welcome Lucellio. Você é muito bem-vindo. Obrigado pelas suas amáveis palavras.
what a great greenhouse, all the plants look awesome!
Thanks Hermit for your kind words.

Hi Xwing, I do have two Moringa trees. I need to get a few more going. I will follow up on tree collards. Thanks for the info on that.
Absolutely beautiful. Amazing work.
Thanks Punky!
Very interesting tour. The greenhouses look fantastic. Sure is producing prime produce! The new, transparent fish tank is very cool.
Thanks ChocDaisy. I love your cakes.

Thanks for your kind thoughts. We are ok where we are.
This is very interesting, setting up mine soon in Botswana. Thank you Murray for Inspiring us
That's great. Keep me posted on your progress please.

Thanks Tom. Water is so scarce around here. I would love to live somewhere that there is plenty of water.
Very good sir
Excellent

That would be good if you could send some water our way. So dry here it is hard to imagine if it will ever rain again.
Beautiful greenhouse! Where is this?
Queensland Australia.
nice video...what's the grade or size of the sand grain in your sandponic system?
Medium course is the best way I can think to describe the sand.
@@MurrayPonics is it filter sand size which is 16/30 sand grade? I'm thinking of trying 1mm to 4mm sand grain size.

Sorry, personal tours by appointment only and none before the end of January right now. Christmas, holidays, too hot, and all that kind of thing.

Hi Murray. What is the name of that plant you were growing for the Pharm company.
Not sure which video that was in? More detail please.
@@MurrayPonics It was the one where you were closing down the system due to lack of water and also had just put some now fish tanks in for your sand bed system. Also how do you find the sand system I have yet to try it

What insect defense system are you using? Evidently is working amazingly!
We spray three times a week with a variety of organic sprays. The main thing is regularity and technique.

That may work, not sure about how systems like that may scale up to be effective.

Murray, have you tried growing a moringa tree? Most nutritional plant known on dry land
Yes, we have two. They are not doing well at the moment in the drought. Hopefully it will rain soon.
Are the sand beds still fill and drain type?
Yes they are.
Worst I have seen it in 15 years in Brisbane Murray.
Sure is Paul. Not good for sure.
