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

Plants taking off

A couple pictures to show you how well the plants are taking off in the brand new aquaponics.

Granted this is a brand new system it’s not even a week old when I planted the plants. The plants took a good 5-6 days to sprout, and while I was waiting I ended up needing the time to get the PH right. The PH started at about 8.2 but in about 4 days I had it down to 7.2.

The first picture below is the plants the day I planted them. The 2 pictures below are the plants after just one week.
