Sandponics Magic - From Barren Sand to Luscious Food Jungle in 2 Months : 2022

Our 18 sqm Sandponics system keeps evolving and changing daily, as we plant and harvest different varieties of vegetables. The sand was transformed into a Food Jungle in a mere 2 months.
This video takes you through the first 4 months.
At this stage we are testing by growing as many varieties as we can. Some standard and some exotic.
Big Successes so far have been;
_____________________________________
Lettuce, Spinach, Brinjals (Egg Plant), Tomatoes, Beetroot, Sweet Potato, Peanuts, Chillies, Corn and Cucumber
Disappointments:
_______________________
Carrots and Onions
Still Under Test
___________________
Potatoes and Saffron
We believe that the deformed carrots could have been caused by high nitrogen levels or the actual variety. Could also be due to old seeds we had left over. We will try growing a new variety. Will keep you updated on the progress.
If you're looking for a reliable growing system, Sandponics could be your solution.. A lot cheaper to build than aquaponics.

Thanks for the update. The system is looking great and seems to be going from strength to strength as it matures. Anything you want to change or upgrade?

Great work! I have mentioned this video in my latest one about futures of hydroponics, I think you're paving the way for really interesting alternatives of traditional aquaponics substrates

[@orlaneoc3913]

Hello! This is amazing! I love your work! And I wouldlike so much to learn from you… do you propose physical courses or internship ? Thank you!

[@fungholio]

Are you using coir for the transplanted potato? It's got roughly 1% dry mass potassium, so that's a great idea to add a little slow release K.

Hi, nice work on sandponics. Just wanna ask, do you constantly pass water through your bed or periodically using timers. If you operate sandponics in flood and drain style won't it be an easy operation.

[@janinfatino9447]

Amazing results! Regarding the carrots. We can observe the same outdoor when water supply is too good or o flooded fields. The carrot has no need to built a long mainroot. So the grower reduce after establishing the irrigation and force the plant to seek for water and building a longer root. I am not shure how you have done it but you can not transplant carrots very well. When the tip of the main root dies the carrot will only form a lot of secondary roots.

So far from your experience with the sand, which will you prefer - the stones or the sand?

[@Visionery1]

Incredible results! One often hears that most of the commercially-available seed these days is GMO seed, what type of seed was used for this project? If not GMO, is it still readily available? Organically-grown GMO plants do not appeal to everyone. How does fertilization work in a greenhouse environment?

[@warrior9086]

Yes, that´s the way to go. Always thought it makes no sense to filter the solids out of the system. That is the most valuable part. So how is Your water quality holding up. First of all sand is the best mechanical filter. So water should be very clean. Also with this size of a system conversion rates should be very stable once mature. You mentioned You added some solids from another aquaponic system. Was that to speed up the process or to add more nutrients ? How stable is Your PH ?

Hello, can you do a complete build of this, long format, I can't get mine to drain correct. Thanks
