Winter Aquaponics

Here is a look at my Aquaponic System in the winter. Filmed 2 weeks ago when a cold spell came through the northwest. Waiting until spring, the fish huddle together.

i hear putting mulch around will give a lot of heat during decomposition .

[Aquaponic]

Sounds like a good idea, maybe all try it since were heading into winter. Thanks for watching.

this is really helpful i wondered what happened in the winter i wanna grow strawberrys and would have to leave them in over the winter

did u have any problems

[Aquaponic]

I didn't have any problems with the system, njust had to check and make sure everything didn't freeze up. I also never fed the fish until the water temp rose above 50 degrees.

Thanks and have a wonderful day,

John

Oh dear, I hope it all thaws out for you soon!

[Aquaponic]

Thank for your comment and thanks for the sun. Yes everything has thawed out and I'm looking forward to planting. Take care and have a wonderful day.

This setup is begging to be put inside a greenhouse.

@amishjim Oh, and I love this rig. there's a place that sells those for $80 near me.

[amishjim]

@Aquaponic 3 years later are you still doing this project? If not was there any particular issue or just moved on?

[MrMotelone]

[giftsfromtheholyland]

[johnjmw1]

Did you have any freeze problems in the spring when it thawed out? Split pipes, grow beds or tanks?

[Discipleforchrist]

Damn dude, why couldn't you put it in the garage, it'd be a lot warmer in there

this makes me want to throw up

I would like to know where exactly that you bought the water tank from and the cage. I would absolutely love to have a set up like this. I have seen something on the lines of this before on a television show called "Growing Power." With this setup and with the use of some heirloom seeds and a green house or grow dome, you could max out your yeild year round! Awesome video and thanks for putting it on youtube!

Do you have any more update videos?

Thanks!
