#Aquaponic#: we have perfect water
九月 23rd, 2012 § 2 comments § permalink
Thanks to Roger who planted some new veggies in the aquaponic and got the LED grow light setup.

We just tested the water and it’s perfect. 7.0 in PH, no ammonia and nitrite and full of nitrate. Looking forward to seeing these grow!

It’s a Bugs Eats Bugs World

I have been having red spider mites problems with my balcony hydroponic garden. These bugs are tough and hard to kill. I have tried a few organic pesticides but none of them work. They are eating up the cucumber and sunflower leaves.

I was referred to predator mites by a few organic farmers on weibo. They look badass! They are smaller then red spider mites but literally eat them for lunch. Each adult predator mite will eats about 200 to 400 red spider mites.

I ordered a few bags of them and just finishing deploying them in the garden. There are both adults and eggs in the bag. Place the opening close to stem of infested plants and the predator mites will climb out of the bags to track down the spider mites. It’s a long night waiting but I can’t wait to see if any of them come to action by the morning.

Go Killer Bugs!!!

#Aquaponics# Sun Shade Cover Up!
八月 17th, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink
To counter the harsh Sun of Shanghai summer, a Sun Shade Cover is added.

Also, 100 earth worms are added to help process the organic matter in the system. Hope they can survive with constant ebb and flow.

Finally, over 300 Chinese green, tomato, cucumbers, eggplants, and sun flowers are transplanted and we should be ready to harvest in about 4 weeks.


The basils and chives transplanted into the system are growing amazingly.

鱼菜共生:海葵过后

在海葵来的时候还非常的担心户外的鱼菜共生系统会有很大的影响,幸好没有出什么问题,这几天成长开始快了。在照片中间的罗勒长的很漂亮。我会带一些到新车间,有兴趣品尝的朋友可以过来。

在系统里面加入了珊瑚做为PH的调节,也加入了铁肥,补充这样还在初期的鱼菜共生系统这个方面的不足。

制作简易的水耕菜盆
八月 12th, 2012 § 6 comments § permalink
前几次农耕迷你工作坊发的苗已经到可以移植的大小了,准备了一个简易的水耕菜盆。
菜盆是从淘宝上拍下的,尺寸够大,而且还有底网,非常的实惠。

把气泡石条固定在底网的地下,感谢Rocket的简易,把出气面朝下,这样可以有效的避免水里面的杂质阻塞气石。

切了一小段的PVC管,做为水深度的指标,固定在底网上。

用另外一段的PVC管子来保护气管不被陶粒挤压。

菜盆这样就准备好了。

先放把大的陶粒,最后2CM放小的陶粒,最上面小的陶粒的主要用途是固定植物,和防止阳光的热和光传到营养液中,造成营养液温度太高以及绿藻成长。

混合了15升的营养液,把一些黄瓜,向日葵移植到水耕菜盆里面,打开气泵。

制作后的感想,建议大家制作的时候,先把大的陶粒放到营养液里面,打开气泵,盖上盖子24小时后,让大的陶粒充分吸收水分,沉淀到底部,再铺上小的陶粒。不然陶粒会在移植的时候漂浮到表面上。
Aquaponic farm updated

It’s almost a month since I setup the aquaponic system in Gubei. I have learn a lot about this amazing technology and make fair amount of mistakes. But now, the plants are growing and the fishes are swimming. The system now has 5 grown carps and 10 Tilapia fingerlings and the waters are in good cycles with 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and good amount of nitrate for plants food. This is becoming a stable aquaponic system.
Now, I just have to wait for the batch of seedlings ready to transplant as well as getting a few more fish fingerlings.
