Amazing Quackuaponics


After 3 days The seeds sprouted
I tried to get some kale to start in garden beds late in the summer season, but it was either too hot, or something was eating the seedlings before they could ever get going. The seeds I started in the aquaponic system I slapped together took off though.

The plants have been thriving and don't need any maintenance. Next season, I'm going to try to do a large number of strawberries.

The plants remove excess nitrates/ites from the water. I've monitored it since the ducks moved into their pen. The levels spiked in the summer, and then dwindled down to zero measureable levels once the roots got into the water.
