Nice one GM. 👍 Cheers & have fun tinkering mate.

[@Holodomor4.0]

Fellas this is so bloody awesome! Two of my favourite KZbin personalities, both of which have inspired my very own gardening which has definitely been a saviour for me personally with how tough the last couple of years have been! This makes me extremely happy to see you too colab like this! Congratulations and again Thankyou!

[@RobsAquaponics]

Thanks SSOTM. 😁👍 Did you see that NASA have published a shot of the dark side of the moon recently? Thought you may be interested. 😉

[@budbert69]

Been watching Hoocho since he started growing his channel, great to see you both together.

[@WanieB]

Larry Hall was like the pioneer for rain gutter system. Glad to see it being carried on. 👍🌱 Great video with good examples of different ways to grow that all work!!

[@sammofo88]

This is awesome!!! Two of my favorites working together in one video!! Keep being great guys!

Awesome to see my two favorite KZbinrs....more of this please guys

[@glenhehir3833]

Top vid mate.

[@ozzypunk1]

Great work Rob , looking forward to seeing you do more tours of other peoples systems.

[@bryanpaynechefbrybry1067]

What a fantastic episode.. would have been great just to follow you 2 around for the day picking your brains.. Can not wait until you start your new build and see how you in corporate some of Hoocho's designs into it.. Thank Rob and Hoocho..

[@RobsAquaponics]

@Hoocho floated a similar idea with me last night Bryan. 🤔😉

[@antoniosanford4675]

Just watched the other video on Hoocho's. Brilliant. Great shootout to the iAVS growing system. Love the segment on fruit trees in hydro/aquaponics. Who says you can't grow root vegetables in aquaculture. I'm glad to see you guys working together. Please do this again.

[@RobsAquaponics]

A well known garden channel has mentioned it a few times Antonio. We always like to except a good challenge though on both our channels. 😉👍😁

I have some coffee seedlings if you want to try growing your own cup of coffee. They are second or third generation grown from seed in Yamanto conditions so they should adapted enough be happy enough up the road where you are. As to exactly what type, I have no idea, the original ancestor plant may have even been seeded by a fruit bat.

[@CaucAsianSasquatch]

Fantastic video, great set up.

[@RobsAquaponics]

@@CaucAsianSasquatch Cheers mate. 😁👍

[@RobsAquaponics]

@@DanielSMatthews Thanks for the offer Daniel. We gifted our dwarf tree to some friends as we don't have the room here. Would like to get a few when we move to a larger block though. 😁 Cheers & have a top one.

[@lenhumbird]

I’m here from Hoocho’s channel. Not sure if I want to get into aquaponics yet, but I’ll start learning about it here. Thanks!

[@RobsAquaponics]

Hey Len. Let me know if you have any questions & I'll help where I can mate.

[@CaucAsianSasquatch]

Excellent

[@ChuanfaBuddha]

Cheers Mates from your Oregon gardener. That was wonderful, confirms some ideas I’ve had. I get such a wealth of information from the two of you, just wish I had a 3-D printer. 😏.

[@RobsAquaponics]

Cheers Stephan. 😁 I've thought about getting one myself now they've come so far down in price. Cheers mate & have a top one.

[@ChuanfaBuddha]

@@RobsAquaponics thanks I will 👍

[@charleswieand4445]

If I ever set my greenhouse up thought about sump at 1 end rubber roofing on floor and run 4 inchs of water on floor and so on

[@TheMisslite]

I built a system based off of Larry Halls years ago it was a double bucket system, with a float connected to after ibc container that kept. i did set it with a little gap of 1/2 inch in the net cup below the bucket. I did both soil in the net cup and coconut coir, soil in the bucket. the net cups with the coir wicked better and in the end I went with just coir

[@RobsAquaponics]

Thanks for the heads up. 👍

[@albertriibe6964]

Love this video

[@RobsAquaponics]

Cheers Albert.

[@gideonrobin6564]

Just got off from Hoocho's video :) Comprehensive cross over video.. Both are appreciative of each other's work.. Hope to meet you guys at least once :)

[@RobsAquaponics]

Thanks Gideon. Hoocho is a top bloke & hope to do some more videos with him down the line. 😁👍

[@hiddengardens1890]

This is awesome. I'm in the process of planning a one acre garden build a little like this in the U.S.. I'm building a 4 ft deep by 4 foot wide by 150 long rill (pond) that will hold tilapia and channel catfish depending on season. The water will then travel through smaller deep water rills (similar to what you mentioned) to feed flower beds and vegetable gardens throughout the garden. The layout will be formal and country. All filtration (solid wast, biofilter) will be built into the system in a way to look natural. This will be open to the public and all plants and produce will be sold at a little store on the property. Excavator is scheduled to start digging in three weeks. Thanks the video.

[@RobsAquaponics]

Would love to know how the system works for you once it's up & running.

[@RemarkXer]

This is awesome! I've been watching a lot of Hoocho's videos lately and trying to incorporate some of his ideas into my aquaponic system. The wicking seems awesome, but on it's own, I don't think it would actually remove nutrients from the water without removing the water as well, so I'm planning some sort of a combination of a dual root zone system with the soil zone being watered through a wick and the aquaponic zone in an NFT.

[@RobsAquaponics]

I have the same thoughts MF. 👍 Hope the build grow swell for you.

[@jefferybarron929]

Outstanding video Collab!!! I've been stuck on moving forward with one or the other systems and this video opened up the possibilities wide open. Thank you Rob Bob and, Hoocho as well for more inspirations!!! I'm betting this video goes viral!!! God Bless to both and to your families!!! What medium was used in the Net-cups for the uptake of the nutrient solution and how is the cup screened from losing its medium into the nutrient channel?

[@RobsAquaponics]

I think Hooch uses coir from memory Jeffery. Am glad you enjoyed the video & hope you checked out @Hoocho's as well. Happy growing.

[@trevnicholls6491]

I've been playing around with the Dutch buckets and I've found they are turning out great for things like tomato's and egg plants. I'm also running a raspberry bush that's growing great in a very large bucket. i think my next project might be a float box system. id like to see a comparison on hydro vs aquaponics

[@RobsAquaponics]

Hope it went well for you mate.

[@farmerjhemp]

Excited to see you build an Iavs sandponics system at the new property. Aquaponics is the bastard child of sandponics.

[@RobsAquaponics]

So the legend goes. 👍 As long as it helps folks grow food for themselves I don't care to tell you the truth. I can see value in both systems.

[@farmerjhemp]

@@RobsAquaponics I hear ya. That's what it's all about. I live in the high desert so I have access to good mountain river sand.

[@ysleem90]

Rob, Been following your channel for a while and really appreciate you putting this video together to show the comparison and other options for outdoor growing. I wanted to see if you could piggyback off of another one of your videos regarding nutrients and supplementing. I have an indoor system, in my basement, where I grow greens, herbs, and peppers. One of the challenges is detecting iron, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus deficiencies BEFORE they show up on leaves. I feel like there are good tests out there and plenty of articles on this, but am biased to your methods of addressing these sorts of things. You had been experimenting with some fertilizer and I was wondering if you found something effective to dose the system to help with these macro nutrient deficiencies as well as something else for micro nutrient deficiencies. For the home hobbyist, some of these supplements can get quite expensive, but I am eager to know if you have other methods to addressing these in advance. Thanks for your consideration and quality videos!

[@RobsAquaponics]

Hi Yazen. I haven't done any nutrient tests on the system water for a while yet so I'm not sure if the minerals I've added have helped much. I am still seeing a few deficiencies (like iron & magnesium) come through from time to time. I have seen the price of some of the packs you can buy & I couldn't afford to add all that's recommended either so I think I'll be looking more towards compost & worm casting teas down the line.

[@ysleem90]

@@RobsAquaponics I look forward to it. :) You're an inspiration in the hobby! Please don't stop what you're doing. Trying dual root zone now thanks to you.

My two heroes meet IN PERSON. I think I’m feeling a bit faint!

[@Thewicked]

how do you deal with roots getting into your system with the wicking

[@RobsAquaponics]

Am yet to try this method but if I use soil I'm not sure that the roots will get too adventurous.

[@AarvinMS]

Hey Rob I am from India and I heard that Jade Perch is a high Omega 3 fish. Could you please make a taste review video of the Jade Perch (we don't get it here in India) Does it taste too oily like Asian carps or does it taste like sea fishes. ? Secondly does it have too many long sharp bones ? I wish we had this Omega 3 fish in India... Thanks.

[@RobsAquaponics]

Hi Morning Sky. It is an oily fish but doesn't taste like ocean fish. I can't compare it to Asian carp sorry as I haven't tried it myself sorry. No bones in the fillets. If you are after a commercial quantity I know a hatchery here that can send some over once you get the paperwork sorted on your end. Hope that helps some.

Do you mean can you grow vanilla in hydroponics? I'm not sure to tell you the truth. Our vanilla orchids are growing fin just in small post of timer mulch at the moment. 👍

Try flipping those glasses upside down on top of your hat and they'll hold better. That's what I do.
