Vetseun Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Salad made entirely from the produce from my salad garden. Except the Feta, Raymond Ackerman grew the feta in a refrigerator at Pick n Pay in Northridge Mall. Long Wheel Base, HeyYou, P.A.K. and 5 others 8
Allrounder Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Hi people. I have a ton of tomotoes. 3 different types. But it is kind of tasteless..... any tips.
HeyYou Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Hi people. I have a ton of tomotoes. 3 different types. But it is kind of tasteless..... any tips. Stagger the planting! Seriously though, I have red thumbs, so I have a gardener that does my vegie garden, he lives on the property, so eats from the garden also. But went a couple of seasons where I'd have tons of tomatoes and lettuce and whatever else, until I managed to persuade him to stagger the sowing over a month or more!!! Used to give away bags of stuff
Gandalf Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Anyone here grow blueberries? Any tips / advice?
Pieter1 Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 My latest project. Using solar power, so far, so good. fanievb, Long Wheel Base, Mousea and 3 others 6

Pieter1 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Some seeds are starting to germinate in the grow bed. I have 45 red mozambican tilapia in the bottom. A 40w solar panel is conected straight to a little solar bilge pump. So it only runs when the sun is out. I had to put a tap on the pipe from the pump to the grow bed as it was pumping water in faster than it was flushing. I have it dialed now tho.

Question: There is enough space in there for a few barbel, have you thought of adding a few fingerlings once the tillapia are bigger? Barbel have a massive growth rate in a controlled environment like that, so you could harvest barbel at 8-900g in short period, well before the tillapia reach 400g

No I am not planing on adding a battery, I want to keep it as simple and cheap as possible. I really want some Clarens Catfish. My friend in Nigeria uses them and they grow super fast. Problem is getting them in SA.

My friend in Nigeria uses them and they grow super fast. Problem is getting them in SA.You'll be surprised at the local variety. It's indigenous, hardy and if my memory serves me correct have a feed conversion rate of 1:0.7 or better, but lets not quote me on that. Their disease tolerance is magnificent and adapt to water quality "like a fish in water". here's some helpful people to know Aquaculture Association of Southern Africa.Webadres: http://www.aasa-aqua.co.zaTelefoon: 012 807 6720Kontakpersoon: Etienne Hinrichsene-pos adres: chairman@aasa-aqua.co.za Pieter1 1
Skylark Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Are you guys planning on eating the fish when they reach size?
