Our Journey back to Homesteading

“Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. Then people who are not Christians will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others."
-- 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

3 Weeks on New Aquaponics

I have to say I’m extremely impressed. I know that growth on an aquaponics system is supposed to be explosive. However expectations have been managed for any system that is less than 4 months old. The whole ecosystem just hasn’t been developed yet.

And yet here we are, amazing growth. After just barely over 3 weeks the plants are doing really well. The plants that are not doing well are tomatoes and peppers. I’m not sure why, maybe they were too small? Maybe the system is still too new? I don’t know but with some more trial and error I should find out.

Here’s Corn in the back and beans, zucchini and squash.

 

Here’s the same on the other side minus the corn. I wanted to see how plants worked in various areas.
