It always amazes me how quickly plants grow with this system. Looks like he has it down!

[@jeffrodabro]

Hi Kim, it's Jeff from JT. I'm done with the rolling garden at my house. I am going to do this, and sell locally. Still growing your seeds too.

[@DinoOnRadio]

Great work ! You have inspired me and I'm sure thousands of others. Thank you very much. The world needs more people like you.

[@djflexifresh]

Amazing system but wow that interviewer covered that story amazingly. You could tell she really understood how everything works and wasn’t just regurgitating information and key words

[@aquahydroman7623]

This is the future, Great info Thanks

[@umesh2063]

Hi, Everyone talks only about Nitrate from the fish waste. But what about other nutrients like Potassium, iron, sulphur, etc and many more which is also required by plants? Do you use some external nutrients as well?

[@ivoai8617]

umesh2063 he’s using compost tea

[@muhammadnasirmahmood6754]

100 dollar question

[@guymcgowen4823]

Very observant! nature requires all of the elements and in the same ratio as sea salts. Most of these are met with the pink gypsum and granite. (they used to be the ocean floor now a mountain). A few other items are missing in the system. If we had a list of the compost and tea ingredients we might have a more complete picture. One rule all growers/farmers miss is the microbial balance. 70% RNA with 30%DNA. that 30% should be equal parts 15% bacterial groups and 15% fungal groups. Once you get past beginners stage it would be helpful to purchase a refractometer to do and record you BRIX readings. This your customers can brag on for you.

[@SylviaJPabon]

You really can build the garden that does not require weeding, tilling or cultivating, the spreading of fertilizer or compost, and no watering or irrigating; all while your plants yield up to 10 times the amount of veggies than plants from the dirt garden.

Imagine living in a culture where more people dreamed of running something like this than of driving a fast car..

[@IronKing79]

Soon, my Foundation will be working on third world countries to eradicate hunger and promote quality jobs and healthy eating, while educating the employees in tasks and basic technical skills, while the kids are being taken care off in schools inside the farm. Wish me luck.

[@o0julek0o]

Why not both? I love my cars, but absolutely cannot wait to finish education and get on with my farm.

[@neverstoppulling5169]

My twin turbo mustang is pretty fast and i'm starting an aquaponics farm :D My first greenhouse is 14ft x 100ft

[@ieatshit1]

But fast car go fast. VROOOM!

[@cbr1thou]

That would be boring as fuck

[@adrianmark613]

Nice. Did you use rock wool? How do you germinate the seeds and move to the floating raft?what is the method of seed care for the floating raft system?

[@aquaponicssource5005]

Thank you for keeping it simple for me

[@dionpennnash2986]

He should add prawns to his float beds, adds another yield and will clean the roots and algae from the beds

[@fudgefudge8913]

excellent idea! ty

[@jimfisk8958]

Very nice vid Rob. Classy and informative. Great to see the family involved.

[@CrystalRicotta]

That dino kale & rhubarb looks soooo good.

[@richardbritt2281]

The water troughs, how does the roots handle being in water all the time? I've seen and been told it isn't good to be in water 24/7 without rotting. I've found no information on how the flow of water is setup in a trough system. Is it drain pipe. Bell Siphon. On your bed with both water and dirt media, how do you get the water into dirt without getting dirt into the water? I really like your system but I'd really love a walk through on how you have it put together, from fish, through the plant beds, to sump pump and back to the fish. Do you have other videos?

[@DeathlyDavid]

I'm not an aquaponics farmer but I believe it is because air is pumped through the troughs. 2:44 .

[@richardbritt2281]

I agree with the trough system and will build the same but I've seen videos where they have floating trays with plants suspended with roots soaking in the water 24/7. Don't understand how they DON'T die.

[@draxxes1]

There's a liner between water and media to keep dirt out but moisture still goes through. No sump pump, pump is in the fish tank recirculated using gravity.

[@draxxes1]

Richard Britt certain plants do well being in water all the time like lettuce, plus its a 45 day cycle.

[@signalfire6]

Richard Britt Yes, it's mostly lettuces that do very well in the water full time; they grow 2-4 times faster because they don't have to push roots through dirt.

[@a1hardwood]

i might say that african cichlids prefer non acidic water so keeping the ph high to match where the fish came from.

[@jonikoto2138]

Media filled beds are the most common method for aquaponic gardening.

[@JoanRBond]

For those who like to build an useful, fundamental, efficient and low-priced aquaponics system, you must discover how to place it altogether and preserve it properly.

[@ryanwc67]

Very nice garden

[@fishmanroly7450]

Is there a food safe dechlorinator

[@pauljohn3230]

I like the idea of the rafts, it seems more simple than having the media beds for just a basic setup... I've seen the rafts floating directly in the fish tanks, ( I know the roots need some kind of protection ) I just wonder are you more limited in what varieties of plant can be grown by this method due to the constant submersion of the roots?

[@hippiedabs7544]

You should install solar panels to run the pumps then you would be even greener

[@draxxes1]

it would have to be a 20k + solar system to run that much water. From the looks of it, it has to be at least a 5-10k gph pump he's running 24/7.

[@signalfire6]

this might work - at least would be great to have as a backup in case your power goes out: www.goalzero.com/p/138/goal-zero-yeti-1250-solar-generator-kit

[@everydaykiva6377]

Do the fish have a good quality of life? I don't see them in sunshine or with natural places to swim and replicate life in nature. It just worries me that they're being used in an "industrial" manner, as something that is kept but not given a happy life. Can anyone who does this address the question? Thank you!

[@fudgefudge8913]

The fish are usually not thought of as needing space and what not.. they are for eating and filtering the water, that's it. Idk if your idea would be feasible to keep water controlled (temp, quality). Maybe there would be a way to use a pond for this method? Idk.

[@donc9275]

I would like to see some real numbers, square footage of growing area, monthly water usage and water bill, electric costs, and start up costs. It all sounds sweet and green, but the bottom line is the bottom line.

[@JohnJones-ew6fc]

+Don C In nominal terms. The price will now rise.

[@bobbyhumphrey6427]

Don C it depends on where you live how mechanically inclined you are and if you can find some of your materials and recycle them like barrels are my gravel beds....i make around 8000$ per month during spring and summer and a little less during winter...i grow niche gardens like gourmet garlic which is hard to find and lots of high end lettuce the high end restaurants love coming to my 2 greenhouse farm but I still grow some things in the ground.good luck

[@ander2008ful]

Perféto maistro.

[@darkgalaxy794]

Sux for the fish, cramp ups in small space, a few will die rotten underwater a while till get notice .

[@angeladunbar9997]

dark galaxy Does no one else see how poor the quality of life is for these fish? How about a real body of water they can swim to? Every set up I’ve seen has had cramped, unnatural settings for the fish. Also, the pumps are loud and the fish have to endure that, plus stomping and banging doors. We sure seem to have a hard time replicating nature

[@Coopogers]

I can see both sides... The need to keep the fish protected from predators and the importance of stress free fish living in a natural habitat. 🤔 I will be keeping this in mind

[@angeladunbar9997]

What predators though? The house cat? How about an actual body of water and a channel to the green house?

[@buffalo_chips9538]

Too bad this outfit is no longer aquaponic...they are now a hyrdoponic operation....rumour has it he tried adding extra hydro nutrients to his systems and killed off the fish. He needed to add more fish instead...even if it was just goldfish...lol

[@homertalk]

Fish is the most natural route. No chemicals just keeping a balance. Plus fish are pretty to look at.

[@RetreatfarmFarmvilleVirginia]

@@homertalk Tasty too.

[@ananddrayson1679]

You do not need lots of skill about gardening to grow plants and fruits without toxic chemicals with aquaphonics system

[@ananddrayson1679]

Moreover, you only need to stick to the clear aquaphonics system instruction and save up 70% energy than conventional gardening, find out more here: great7.net/aquaphonics-building-easily
