Patio Garden - Fish, Crawfish Powered

Just a small patio garden in Tallahassee, FL showing how simple it is to set up a balanced system, letting your fish turn your water into "organic fertalizer", to keep your plants growing, and in return, letting your plants clean the water to take out the waste. Simple yet effective, low cost way to keep things growing.

duck weed draws bees

[MrPhillipcochran]

Get a battery powered tooth brush and hold it on you tommatoe plant stems 3 to 4 inches from the flower bud sets. the vibrations is similer to that of a bees wings. do it for 45 seconds, this will polinate them

[TellinTheTruth]

nice, but it relies too much on pumps..... that scares me if there is blackouts or energy crisis

[insAneTunA]

You can give them a good firm shake to pollinate, or use a small soft brush with fine hair.

the light hours need to change like the seasons and also u need more p and k in the water try changing the fish food to a high p/k level

One thing it's my understanding that the fertilizer from fish waste is high in nitrogen. Which is good for foliage and leafy plants but not so good for flowering or fruiting plants.

Lots of the aquaponic people grow lettuces and herbs.

Looks great!

I plant flowers around my vegetable garden to attract bees. Can you do that as well?

I have bee balm, roses, hibiscus, pineapple sage, etc.
