2010 Hydroponic green house Update # 1

Produce grown in an aeroponic hydroponic hybrid system. I custom built this system and plan to modify some aspects of its operation.

Check out my third video its an aquaponic setup using gold fish i now have a setup in my backyard using a 1000 gallon fish pond and a bunch of koi fish i am currently growing aquaponic strawberries in it and am in the process of building more grow beds for lettuce, spinach and other greens I use a UV light/filter system to eliminate any algea the pond water is clear the and the fish and strawberries are healthy, also i grow duck weed in a seperate filter to feed the fish.self sustaining system

@jimmyallenjr- i beleive i spent right around $150 for all of the materials, Including the errors i made. However if i built this system again i would do a few things differently. I have just recently finished some vertical strawberry towers and also some NFT Microgreen beds, i will upload vids later. Thanks.

@xxwesdogxx- Burying the reservoir is a great idea for cooling, however i live about twenty mins from a temperate rainforest in the Hoh Valley near Forks wa. I Spent alot of time trying to develop ways to heat my water and keep it heated. Burying the res. acts as isulation so if i put a fish tank heater in it the water temperature stays fairly constent.

@london1817 I am in the process of expanding the bay that the system is in, when i finish the add on ill post a new video...however the tomatoes are about two feet tall and the peppers are catching up. i have harvested most of the romaine lettuce and started some more seeds...you will see the rest in the video update.

@SPinterest

Hole saws are great for making nice, large, round holes. Any store that sells drill bits ought to have some. They hook right in to your drill like any other drill bit would.

nice hydro system but its no fun growing lettuce lol i guess for some ppl it is.

[jwright650]

Any new updates?...just wondering how your setup is doing now that it's had plenty of time to get established. I like the fish helpers in your garden.
