Aquaponics Made Easy DVD

[stratocaster1986able]

1:02 LOL, "You're gonna have dead fish I'm sorry to tell ya."

[shpixi]

...what fish got to do with any of plants?

(thank you in advance)

[nonubusiness]

@shpixi Well fish poop and poop is good for fertilizing is one thing i can think of.

[tk9hydro]

Kool movie..gotta try it..

[MurrayPonics]

The DVD is 39.90 plus post and the A$ is pretty close to the US$ almost to the cent.

You can get it in the USA from The Aquaponic Source.

[franchescoli1904]

how much is it i want that video

[elnormico]

look at that beautiful fish

[Aaronkey100]

Like it!

[remember25october]

1:17 - the berry was beautiful. Was it tasty?

[MurrayPonics]

@remember25october

Yes, really nice and sweet. There is never enough. I eat most of them, not many get up to the house !

[snok2007]

What kind of fish?

[FutureLaugh]

the music is so intense 

[brad238899]

I love Murray. He seems like such a happy go lucky guy in his videos.

[valdezorbust]

If you really wanted this information out there it wouldn't be for sale on a DVD. Aquaponics is not complicate at all. It certainly doesn't require a 29$ DVD.

[MurrayPonics]

@valdezorbust Why should it be for free ? It costs money to make these things and I have to pay bills just like everybody else. It is rare to get such silly comments, but when they come it is most often from some over paid government worker who is accustomed to getting most things for little or no effort.

[valdezorbust]

@MurrayPonics I've seen the DVD since the comment and it's pretty good. I would buy it I just don't know how $29 converts from Aussie to US.

[astrialkil]

@MurrayPonics The other people who have such attitude are young collage kids who haven't had to work much and they don't have much expendable income , they are increasingly following the "give me resources for free Venus project or the zietghist project"

[PxHackzZ]

@valdezorbust and your comment certainly did not need to be posted. not everyone can grow hydrophonic and aquaponically this dvd could help them. so you saying it isnt worth it to some it might be worth it.

[bigbuggie5]

Can you harvest salmon?

[soccerpml21]

are all the nutrients the plant will ever need come from the fish themselves and the bacteria that decompose it? In your videos, you mentioned that the final product from fish through the bacteria that breaks it down is nitrogen. But that is only one of many nutrients a plant needs. How do you incorporate the other nutrients needed or do the fish provide all the nutrients ever needed?

[jarp87]

@soccerpml21 wonderin the same thing any answer?

[glass509]

@soccerpml21 plants need more than just nitrogen, you are correct, but you are forgetting in what ratios. most of the plants here (lettuce and cabbage especially) have little need for high phosphorous and pottasium levels, but when the ph is perfect and these elements are available even minutely, the plants can absorb them and therefore not be deficient. so basically, other elements than nitrogen do exist in a natural aquaponics setup, just not in abnormal and abundant amounts.

кто-нибудь знает, есть ли субтитры на русском или быть может существует озвучка, ато никак не найду )

[minhakd]

What type of plant and animals are best for a Northwest temperature?

Have you compared your data with regular agriculture and aquaponic plant growth? If you had can you share it with me?

I also need to ask if you have compared the energy and water use comparing regular agriculture and aquaponics. If you had could you please share it with me? Can you make a profit out of aquaponics? How?

Have you thought of having a Community aquaponics project?

[flashtoons]

Seedlings are grown elsewhere, The dirt is washed off and the roots are plunged directly into the clay balls or gravel media. That's it. The plant roots are submerged in water but do not rot because the water is heavily oxygenated. That's all you do. The plant will grow normally.

[gianolrac]

where do you plant the seeds? directly just put it there or there should be some kind of a small pot?

and should the seeds be submerged in the water level if you plant them?

thanks! pls reply.. :)

[DJT77816]

Check out my aquaponic system on my channel.

[wlkrieg1]

can you grow marijuana aquaponically?

[reeferman69]

@wlkrieg1 i wouldnt see why not..

[Prashmash]

What kind of gravel has been used in this?

[candismorton]

Why does the tank look dirty? Is it clean enough?

[asonetry]

in a world that needs humans to change its a shame that the humans doing it haven't change.........

A hollywood movie that cost millions of pounds and is just for fun is cheeper than this...... i can only guess that there is no truth in the global madness of sustainable living....... sorry.... but i would give this movie away if it made humans live in harmony with the earth after all this is the human condition to share................. as One

[croissantanyone]

@asonetry Dirt worshiper.

[vulcannut99]

"Murray will demystify the DARK ARTS of growing fish and vegetables organically!!!

ooooohhh sounds spooky

[aNdReSkKkK]

can this be used to remove starvation from any given area? how about doing it without affecting the local economy?

[dwiggs77]

heard your pitch on the 3/4" gravel,but yet you are using hydroton as well. which works best in your systems

[lslavychecker]

It is nice and clean....

[lslavychecker]

LIKE IT...na moremo cakati na druge se moremo sami nauciti...ozimnice nimajo sezone...

[lslavychecker]

ODLICNO--koliko se lahko predela rib in se zelenjave in zrave pa se presparas na vodi in gnojila za zelenjavo,samo kamencki morajo biti cisti in neutralni...dezevnica kjer vode ni- ali pa je vsa polutirana...

[lslavychecker]

I WILL TRY IT.....

[lslavychecker]

Ne moremo cakati na druge se moramo pac sami nauciti...To je ODLICNO..

[handsomedevil888]

iam very impressed, just one question considering that iam here in the philippines and red pebble is not available what other medium that you can recommend or what characteristic of medium that i should find.

[handsomedevil888]

iam impressed, just one question, what other medium that i can use if the red pebble is not available here in my country (philippines).

[flashtoons]

20mm gravel or three quarter inch gravel is good. Just make sure it is pH Neutral.

[alkromarketingmexico]

excellent, visit our video

[TheRandomX1]

God bless you!!!

[DancesWithLlamas]

epic music for an epic subject for an epic time.

Well done sirs.

[epicdeuce]

@DancesWithLlamas EpicDeuce.

[Masaries1234]

@DancesWithLlamas Right after "This lettuce in 24 days." when the fish swam by, I LOL'ed. "How epic can we make a fish and garden system?" And you know what, it is epic. Simplicity and efficiency, that's what the world wants and what the world needs.

[otivaeey]

Aquaculture is not complicated at all, only 6 points: 1) fish security 2) water aeration 3) nitrogen removal 4) neutral pH 5) solid removal 6) temperature. Cloud the water with algae, or dense water-floating plants to provide security and less stress for growth. Success of aerating the water is determined by the size of bubbles you achieved, the smaller the more successful. Do this by providing air and water into a water pump inlet.

[otivaeey]

Nitrogen removal is done easily by integrating water lettuce, a lot into the system in which it absorbs ammonia first, when depleted then nitrite then nitrate. Solids are removed by conventional filter. pH is adjusted by putting coral bones into the system, which prevent H+ combining ammonia to form toxic NH4+. Grow fish at its highest optimal temperature. Integrate hydroponic by adding water trays and water pumps if you want.

[joedrake1]

fuck world hunger its bullshit. my sister had a tiny garden in socal desert couple carrots squash and eggplant. and one tomato plant that a house of five couldnt keep up with. we gave tomatos away.

[Masterphonic]

@joedrake1 Fuck world hunger. All of our problems have been solved by your sister's garden!

[whitetail54]

i have a big pond full of fish could i used the water from it to water my plants and is it safe to use

[gus361]

so then you would have to still maintain the ph?

[FishyMoe]

LOL ammonia of 8 that would be bad.

[ponderingwanderer]

the music is a little dramatic, but i love the idea of aquaponics

[JimboJitsu]

This is so cool! I have to get this video, I am wanting to expand my ponds from pleasure to food based and this looks like everything I need to know to succeed!

Thanks for sharing!

[cylyntblu]

this is so interesting--do anyone have a price on this type of operation--thinking about doing this?

[shumebute]

why do u need this kind of system when u can grow the same plants directly on the ground..? i really want to know cause i don't understand

[odinreln]

@shumebute when you grow in the ground, the vegetables take all the nutrients out of that patch. so next season, unless you put in more nutrients/fertilizer, you plants will have stunted growth, or if they are nutrient heavy, no growth. this system, is kinda self sufficient. fish provide nutrients in a cycle with bacteria and plants. just needs energy and water top up. if you grow peas, you can also feed goldfish with the few peas you grow.

[NARCOPOLO76]

Faster bigger harvest.

[foggelus]

I studied three years of aquaculture and this is a very unique system. 1. extreme Plant growth rates 2. Free fish and vegetables 3. tilapia are herbivores which means you can feed them lawn clippings or almost anything green hence no feed cost for the fish 4 the plants filter the water that is then sent back to the fish tank little to no waste/ no money spent on feed for the fish or fetilzer for the plants equals free food. and you can go get fresh fish and veggies anytime yo feel like it!!!

[Kriegsarschmann]

In addition to what odinreln said, the amount of space required for a normal garden is a lot larger than this system. Which this does require some careful oversight, you're essentially creating a very small ecosystem. The interesting thing here is you're essentially taking the role of nature to balance and keep things running.

Great for people with a god-complex. :P

[Aimrehtopyh]

Don't make me smite you! :-)

[Kriegsarschmann]

Haaa. I see what you did there.

[fishandveggies]

The veggies in the store are full of poison and lack nutrition, that is why more thinking people are wanting to grow as much of their own as they can.

[Armornone]

Just go to the store. Its cheaper and easier. This is only fun if you are a geek and into this kind of stuff but it does not make any economic sense to do this.

[mozaks80]

No economic sense? You are surely kidding right?

[Armornone]

I tried this kind of thing before. Spend Hundred of dollars on hydroponics equipment, chemicals, etc.. to get about $5 worth of produce. You don't even get enough to justify the electric bill from the pumps. It is must cheaper to buy this stuff at the store.

Do you need a chocolate tree and a chocolate factory to have a chocolate bar or is it cheaper to just go to the store and buy one?

[mozaks80]

Actually i'd love a chocolate factory, but id horde it all end up a fatty. What kind of chemicals did you put into your system?

[Armornone]

Dynagrow for the chemical.

Do you actually have a working system because from my experience its just not worth it.

It might be fun but its not practical.

[mozaks80]

Almost there, im looking for the final parts before i dive into it. People all over the place have seen roaring success and here in aus it's pretty popular, i suspect i may fail at it a couple of times, like i did with my basil, but it'll eventually take off, ill make sure of it. I'm too stubborn and persistant to know better =p

[fishandveggies]

It makes a lot of sense, thousands are now growing stuff this way very successfully.

[mozaks80]

@fishandveggies : totally. im just waiting to figure out the easiest way to set it up on my balcony without a power point, then it's game on

[foggelus]

12v water pump a solar panel with a back up 12 volt battery

[AdamDLDixon]

epicfail

[zifernandez]

Yes! im so gonna do that when i get a bigger place! indoor baby!

[ketammerah1]

COOL..!!!!

[Godssweetchild]

I want the DVD! This is amazing!

[psylow93]

wtf 1:08

[petanimelayu]

sedapnyee strawberi.............

[weAreNotAloneHere]

Just waiting on my DVD here in the UK, Can't wait!!! : )

[greenfrog140]

what foods do the fish eat? I am plannig on having mackerel. or can i grow on my grow beds

[nectarineblue]

this is the way to go if ya got the space.. I got a 55 gallon fish tank.. i might give it a go with smaller plants...

[alexander9699]

this guy is intense

[pinkstrawberrypuding]

wonderful

[droplogic66]

When he lifts the cabbage out of the bed, why does it look like it was planted in dirt? Is that just the color of the roots or what?

[aquaponicgardener]

That is because in a mature aquaponics system there is lots of fish poo solids and worm castings etc in the grow bed. The grow bed that the cabbage came out of is over 3 years old. Three years of continuous production....fantastic.

[timtam006]

i have a giant fish pond, and i wannt turn it into aquaponics... but i dunno how :(

[RevoBB]

I believe the Aztecs used to float bales of straw with food crops planted in them in the lake. If you can get straw or hay bundles to float, then you may be able to grow plants in them.

[aquaponicgardener]

Very good video clip. The full version needs posting here

[Leibensborn]

Finally someone who describes how the syphon action works in a diagram.

[SKVPC]

thanks for posting this!

[midnorthcoastaquap]

great video. if only i didn't have to wait to feb. my birthday is then i'll hint to the appropriate people for it as a present. great job.

[fishandveggies]

Excellent, best on Aquaponics yet. I want the full version.
