  • we were just there in Sabang two weeks ago. We would like to visit your place nest time we go back. We planned to have a business there in Sabang.

  • hi there, hope to see you next time, your more than welcome to come and see the aquaponics system, regards clay

  • you are using soil !!!!not good!!!

  • @lexam55 we use gravel not soil, we do use sawdust for seedlings though.

  • can i used this technic on a chicken farm?

  • it maybe that all farming will be done this way at some point in the future, but it takes energy to break down animal, so i would say solar and wind can play there parts to provide the energy to make it cost effective.

    Life is one big experiment so give it a try, best of luck

  • its a pitty that the goverment budgets for for so much more than this project which could teach kids from a young age that this is the way to go and i think evetually if you are not self efficient or dont know someone that is YOU WILL NOT EAT

  • It is the most beautiful system I have seen so far. Congrats

  • so cool i love hydroponics esp aquaponics very cool set up

  • whynotgetafewhorsestoo

  • Beutiful video. I have some questions. Were you taking care of the PH of the water and the iron for the plants? are rabbits contributing with their waste to the fishes water? I will start with something small and see how it goes..

  • I would seriously be interested in seeing a diary/vlog of your project. Especially keen on seeing a layout/design pamplet to copy/ start from. Hearing your ideas on how you would improve your system would definitely be helpful. Changing the world Rule #1. If you want people to copy your example - make it idiot proof :)

    Awesome work BTW - very inspirational!!

    Oh and please note: those rabbits need more room than was shown here!!

  • Save the enviomrnt burt some hippies

  • @isiVideo Eagerly awaiting your vid!

  • Great video, but the music shifts rapidly between left an right which is a bit nauseating. Sure I can turn off the sound but I didn't know if you were going to say something. Again, great system.

  • nice system.
