Recently a friend was telling me about how difficult it was to grown strawberries in his aquaponics system. He didn’t have any success in growing them and was wondering if he was doing something wrong or indeed, if this aquaponics thing was over-hyped? He didn’t have a green thumb...

posted by Ecofilms

We all have our favorites. Plants that defy normal growth and even gravity and just take off like a rocket in an aquaponics system.  They crowd out other plants and just keep refusing to stop growing. They either take off up into the heavens or spill over the sides and tumble onto the ground...

Bathtub Gardening

posted by Ecofilms

While filming with Tania Coppel about her story on compost toilets we spotted this ring of bathtubs all under wire netting. They reminded me of a ring of wagon trains circling round like in a cowboy Western movie protected by a wire netting to stop the possums for eating the produce. The only...

posted by Ecofilms

A while back on the Aquaponics forum someone mentioned that they only sow their seeds according to the phases of the moon! Planting at the wrong time of the moon’s cycle would result in plants “bolting” or growing straight out to seed. The theory was that the moon could have...
