Aquaponic basil
Posted on Apr 11, 2009 under Aquaponics, Fish, Gardening, Self Sufficiency, Water | 2 Comments
My goldfish have been polluting the water for a little while now and all the plants I have transplanted into the aquaponics grow bed are doing good. A few days ago I decided to add the NFT channel, that I made a while ago, to the system and pop some basil seeds in. The seed packet says that germination takes 15 to 20 days, the seeds I put in started sprouting after 3 days! The picture was taken this morning, 4 days after sowing.

There haven’t been a lot of aquaponic grows documented on the net. I really look forward to seeing updates on this.

stay tuned for a lot of updates on this, in fact I have 90 square meters of aquaponics grow beds planned, which will be filled very soon. I just picked up a school of Tilapia’s last week to feed the plants. I’ll post on that shortly!
