What a Wicked Wet Wednesday

Wonderful Watery Wednesday
Yes we are still getting regular downpours so we have plenty of water in the seven tanks (plus the bore water) But Really, How much water can a puddle hold...

Now, lets see what I can find to amuse all my friends this time around....

                                                        ...oooOooo...

Have you joined Aquaponic Garden yet? Well, heres one young man who has....

It is not formidable to pattern a simple aquaponic complement which can be placed indoors or outdoors. The options ye have been to squeeze a readymade pack or get the components from your internal hardware plus hobby supply stores plus set up the section yourself.
What have been the components of a simple aquaponics system?

                                                        ...oooOooo...

In the middle of the semester, we became discouraged with our initial project.  We were starting to tackle a problem in our own lives, but felt we weren’t learning or exploring enough.  Around the same time, we came across Elle Sheiferstein’s Aquaponics project, Green Farmed Foods on youtube.  Elle came to Baltimore from New York initially to rehab old rowhomes and create housing.  When she came across the Old Augenbrack Beer Brewery she initially wanted to

From E-Zine Articles:
You can design an aquaponics at home system that can produce fresh organic vegetables and raise fish at the same time. Taking a lesson from fish farming otherwise known as aquaculture and the practice of raising plants without soil known as hydroponics a marriage of the two worlds are created to form aquaponics.
Aquaponics at home can be a very basic system designed to grow a small herb garden or an aggressive system designed to raise organic vegetables to feed an entire household.

                                                        ...oooOooo...

 From :Aquaponic Lynx LLC - Helping Families Grow Food
Well, getting ready for some new catfish so we moved the aquarium outdoors to become the new Quarantine Aquaponics system.
We decided the big aquarium indoors was too much moisture for the house and we needed more storage space in the spare room. Well why not set it up outside? I did add a cover in front to keep the sun off the tank as the algae would otherwise have taken over and heated up the tank quickly.

It is not difficult to design a basic aquaponic system that can be placed indoors or outdoors. The options you have are to purchase a readymade kit or get the components from your local hardware and hobby supply stores and build the unit yourself.
What are the components of a basic aquaponics system?
  1. A fish tank with fish, the size you select will be determined by where you locate it and the scope of your system.
  2. A grow bed with plants, there is no limit here in terms of what you can grow, it will depend on your goals, the type of water flow and the space you have dedicated to the aquaponics system.

 From 120 Things in 20 Years: Aquaponics - Pump-less cycling Success!
Sometimes, I know things like cycling a pile of gravel should work, but Im still surprised when they actually do.
After shovelling 3/4 of the gravel into my grow bed, I got lazy and went to bed. But I thought Id try getting a head start to cycling up my system as gravel in a grow bed, and a pile of gravel on the ground.

                                                        ...oooOooo... 

Some Videos from HOWSTUFFWORKS: The big trend in produce farming is to move it indoors and grow the plants hydroponically. This offers the same kind of advantages in terms of water consumption, weather and consistency, and also opens up the possibility of urban farming. Here is an example of an advanced hydroponic lettuce farm:

 From Can You Feed Your Family With Aquaponics?
Thanks for all these great aquaponic links and ideas.  Thank you, Jag, for the film clip.  The man, Hobie, whom the speaker is most directly conversing is a long time friend of mine.  The plant he is featuring, taro, is an important one of our staples.
My favorite part of focusing my efforts and concerns on food production, is that it makes me happy.  Cultivating life around us, is so much more joyful and fulfilling than stressing about the rise of fascism and an impending economic collapse.  ... I do both, rejoice in the abundant biology around me and stress about the digression in our society.  I like the happy part best, so I place the most energy there.
Our aquaculture system should be up and running within the month.  Hopefully, the rainwater feed will minimize the need for the pump system that will be in place.  Well let you know how well we succeed.....

                                                        ...oooOooo... 

Now From GOArticles:With the tough economic circumstances were all facing, getting inexpensive and quality foods and products is a growing challenge for even the most experienced shoppers. Prices are through the roof to the point where it seems you have to spend a fortune to have a healthy diet. More inexpensive products are always of lower quality, this holds true for food as well. You can now get the best organic fruits, vegetables, and fish… plus save money at the same time! Where does this come from? It comes from your own farm…

                                                        ...oooOooo...

 Well, Time has got away from me again. So until Friday Take really good care of yourselves (especially on the roads, and please no accidents if youre on holidays).

Mid Week Again So What Does That Mean

Wednesday the middle of the week, the middle of the muddle or is it the center of some project that will or at least may be of great significance in your life. No matter what you feel about it right now, It can mean whatever you focus on it to mean. Why not make it the center of your attention for the next ten minutes. Some project or plan or even some idea youve had that maybe could be worthy of some power thinking. Give it what it deserves. Your Time. That means a degree of effort but mostly time. Seriously important time.but time we all can always make available, somehow. If its worth making the effort, its worthy of you.

That dam soapbox is going to get me in a lot of trouble one of these days, Now its work time:

Backyard Aquaponics
By Ashley Walsh

Growing vegetables by aquaponics not only produces tasty home grown veggies but also your own fish to eat. Growing vegetables can be a bit of a challenge if you only have a limited amount of space.

However, an aquaponics system can be set up in a relatively small area, yet still produce an abundance of backyard vegetables.

Darren and Belinda Vance have a large backyard dedicated to fruit and vegetables but also grow vegetables using aquaponics.

Rooftop farming a possibility: Mah Bow Tan
by Esther Ng
Minister for National Development Mah Bow Tan said he would consider rooftop farming - an idea mooted a decade ago by Dr Ngiam Tong Tau, then head of the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) - but he pointed out that there were other competing uses such as recreation and solar panels.

He added that rooftop farming might not be suitable for a commercial building because of the air-conditioning plants on the roof.

Why start an Aquaponic System – In a world where almost everything is done on the run and so many people complain about their absence of time, beginning a new hobby seems as a way of social suicide, as you will have less time to see your family and friends . This is why a lot of people today are quite reluctant in giving their precious time away on new pursuits,

Well it is called aquaponics

Posted by stevenlocke on January 29, 2011

Have you at any time imagined which you can alter your storage in a green house with a minimal funding and work? If you enjoy freshly harvested veggies and adore fish, after that is high time that you did a thing for you and your household and the very best issue you can do is present them clean chemicals for delicious and nourishing foods. As soon as you learn how, you will never ever be reliant on the market again! No far more genetically modified greens, no far more preservatives injected to grow them fresh for a lengthier time, simply natural, healthy and balanced super food developed in your storage or within your house.

Here is the hydroponic and biofiltration side of our aquaponics system. This basic build is in the garage for testing and design ease. We are using a High Pressure Sodium lamp for our light source and a 75gph aquarium pump to move water. Once the micro-eco-system is moved outside, the pump will be replaced with 2 smaller, solar powered pumps (on solar-charged batteries, of course). Eliminating the need for electricity.

A Greenhouse or a Growhouse???
The best way to grow food indoors is with an Aquaponics system. Aquaponics is a cross between Hydroponics (growing vegetables in water) and Aquaculture (farming fish). You get the best of both worlds and you don’t have to deal with dirt. An Aquaponics system needs to be placed in a protected environment where you, the gardener, can control the atmosphere both in the the environment and in the water tanks where you are raising your food fish.

Plants You Can Grow In An Aquaponics System   by Ethan Mills
Plants You Can Grow In An Aquaponics System

The aquaponic plants are where its at! Thats the great benefit of aquaponics, enjoying the vegetables and fruits when they are ready to be eaten. While the crops are growing, the nitrogen cycle occurs because of the bacteria in the root systems. This is where the water is filtered and cleaned before it returns back to the fish. Without plants the system cannot function properly. Research has shown that plants were proven to be an effective means of water purification for aquaculture. Lettuce, chives and other leafy crops were first considered for aquaponics but, more recently,

What is Aquaponics

So this being my first post of Our Aquaponics Blog I figured I should make a post on What exactly is Aquaponics?

This question could have such a long answer but we will try to keep it simple.

If you are wondering what Aquaponics is all about, then you should know that it is a new farming trend that brings together a symbiotic relationship between the fish and plants. This method utilizes the waste materials of the plants to be fed to the fish while at the same time the waste of the fish is used in fertilizing and supplying the nutrients that plants and vegetables need to thrive.

This system is being used more and more due to its simplicity and water efficiency.
The plants clean and filters the waste water from the fish keeping the harmful bacteria out of the fish tank.

When thinking about Aquaponics
Think about this system as a single unit and not separate ones. In order for it to function, the water coming from the fish tank is being pumped to the grow beds. In this cycle, the water coming from the fish is being used and is being fed to the Vegetables and plants. The fish water is being filtered by grow medium or by the river stones and it is being siphoned back into the fish tank. Therefore, the water is clean once again and is now ready to be used again by the fish. The cycle of this system will just continually go on giving mutual benefits to both the fish and the plants.
This farming technique is usually made up of a tank with various fish of your choice with existing grow beds used specifically for vegetable farming or ornamental plants. This new farming technique is really amazing because once the cycle starts, the water in the tank remains clean and clear and stays ph balanced all throughout. The water is being recycled and only very minimal amount is being added in order to replace the water that evaporated and was used by the vegetables.

 
We could go on about Nitrates and Nitrites,

But were just after the simple facts right now.  There are so many different options to list you will just have to keep up with my blog to see them as we explore and learn what Aquaponics is about. Along the way I will build and show what my system looks like and all the problems that I may have occurred so that you dont have to!

What A Great Day to have a Wednesday on

Suppose we had to have Wednesdays on another day......like Saturday. Then wed have no middle of the week... Or would we.....Hmmmmm....

Well the plants and the fish dont care So I guess I shouldnt either.

So the best I can do is, Blog on regardless.

Ok so I am going to try my hand at Aquaponics. Im trying to do this as a self renewable system. So I can save the seeds from the grown plants and re-use them. I can also have a seperate tank for breeding more fish. So now I have to figure out a few other things

1. Food for the fish. how do I breed grubs,worms, blood worms, etc without soil?

2. How do I power my pump without electricity? Im thinking solar or wind.

3. Due to evaporation and plants using the water how do I replace it? I was thinking a few rain barrels, but if it doesnt rain for a while......? Guess where I suggested he comes...

It starts with some rocks. Then some water, fish and vegetable plants. They can go in barrels or tubs outside or in a greenhouse.

Take it from James Tinker, who has been gardening off and on for 30 years.

Well What a weekend that was

Apart from all the usual goings on, I had another birthday (That I could well do without). Its not about getting older, Just finding it harder to keep up. The body is telling me that I need to just settle the rythm of my life a little bit more and I want to reject that alltogether.

I guess somehow Im going to have to make my mind and my body come to some sort of understanding. But hell, I dont like it. I guess thats what I get for living life too free and easy. Now its time to reign in and I dont like the feel of the reins, pulling at me.

numb

Im not one to normally express the dark side of me in a blog (well not my secrets anyway) but today Im in complete agitation so...why not?

Last night, I felt something that I havent in a long time.  It was a complete numb feeling brought on by racing emotions and pills.  It was one of those nights that was ending terribly and that one knows wont get better so I popped a melatonin and some Naproxen (specifically Aleve) and went to bed.  This melatonin I bought at Whole Foods (called Bio Align Melatonin Sleep Science) knocks me on my ass and is awesome when I have insomnia.  It makes me feel funny right before I crash though...almost like a drunk.  On top of that, I cant speak without slurring.  But hey it works!  Right before I went to bed, I thought about how much I hated life.  It was even more bitter than it was back in high school...which was worse than when I was younger.

Lets back up a bit though.  Its not like I just felt that way.  Yesterday was a pretty nice day.

I got off work and waited for the boyfriend to come get me.  I got in the car, sore as hell, and we drove off.  He was talking about this computer he wanted and how his dad was willing to go halfsies with me and make it a Christmas present.  Well we got into a little debate about some parts and he decided that I was stupid and he was going to stay rather quiet the rest of the way home.

We were going to dinner at nanas house (nana is his grandmother...grandma is mine) and he wanted to show me a list of parts that came with this deal which was conveniently located at home.  He went in to get it but came out rather upset.  Just saying, when someone goes in a house and comes out rather upset for no apparent reason, things will run through peoples heads.  It wasnt any reason important (to me at least) just that when he tried to rig his controller so he didnt have to hold down a button to cheat, it didnt want to work.

Sometimes it does work but when it doesnt, I hear about it.  In fact, I have been hearing about it for a while now.  So why was last night so important?

Ladies and gents, during my cycle, I flip out into a very very unstable angry stage.  Some women get purely emotional and cry.  I cry but only because I really want to beat everyone with a bat over and over again if they highly upset me.  Im on a pill that has caused me to emotionally cycle very rapidly.  Usually I come home at night in a depressed phase.  I always make sure boyfriend is watching...because I want him to see that Im doing this for him.  Killing myself for him.

Of course this isnt my total logical thinking.  It only happens at that time.

Back to last night.  We were on our way to nanas when he continued to scream at me and be angry.  Not a good day but he had the nerve to hand me this stupid computer list anyway.  My back hurts and he had been screaming about stupid shit like this for the past couple of weeks.  I flipped the fuck out.  So I tore the list in half and screamed back.  "Its just a stupid fucking game.  It doesnt care about you and it never will.  It only affects you because you let it."  This must have been the wrong thing to yell because he stopped and told me to get out of the car.  Apparently taking off my seat belt and trying to get out of the car was also the wrong thing because he then told me "no youre not going anywhere."

Needless to say, he didnt talk to me for the rest of the night.  Seeing as we dont have a couch and have a studio set up, I decided to knock myself out.

This morning I woke up and he was moving stuff to our new "place" (we will be staying with nana for a bit.)  Stiiilll not talking to me.  Fine whatever.  Do it yourself.  He came home and wanted me to stay home from work.  He wanted hugs and was now talking to me.  He wanted to say sorry.

He is the biggest hypocrite I have met in my entire life.  He can tell me everything Im doing wrong but God forbid if I tell him that he is overreacting.  I accidentally scratch him and my sorry isnt enough but he can call me a retarded/stupid cunt, whore, slut, bitch, or something around those lines and his apologies are supposed to be accepted.  Oh and get this.  He told me that when you say sorry youre supposed to mean it and not do it again.

fwahahaha

In short, I have been looking for places to move.  Im kind of tired of him.  It is like taking care of a 5 year old except he isnt 5...he is 21.  When I try to bring it up to him, he pouts and says "FINE."  Dont get me wrong, there are many good qualities as well but Im seriously starting to wonder if theyre even worth it anymore.

What I got today

So if anyone ever checked the green blog...basically here is whats up.  Everything I buy has to be organic, from a good company, or local.  I added the OR because the co-op I was looking at for human food refuses to work towards that organic label but does grow organic by definition.  If I dont, I must donate $1 to some sort of charity.  This months charity is Sacramento County Animal Control & Regulation.

Today was terrible.  Here are my stats for yesterday as well

Applebees - $25ish - $1
Del Taco - $15 - $1
Soda - $3 - $1
Ice cream - $4 - $1

My Diy Aquaponics System
Its not at all challenging to design a primary aquaponic process which might be placed inside your home or even outside the house. Your options you could have are to order some sort of readymade kit or obtain the components from your local hardware and hobby supply merchants and build the system by yourself.

My Friendly Aquaponics Training Experience
It occurred to me a couple of days ago that I had never written anything reviewing my Friendly Aquaponics Commercial Training experience.  It was a profound four days in my life and yet I have never chronicled it.  I think I finally will now.
We arrived in Kona late Saturday night after grounded planes and nearly missed flights.  We were tired but excited as we drove from the airport up to Waimaia where we were staying.

Aquaponics Part 5b – Starting Up Your Aquaponics System without Fish
by Sylvia Bernstein on February 4, 2011 · 1 comment
Bacteria are the magic that takes the otherwise unusable fish waste and creates a near perfect plant fertilizer.  In last month’s aquaponics article, I talked about how to attract the bacteria needed in your aquaponics system to create the bio-filter that converts the fish waste into plant food.  This process is often called system “cycling”.  The cycling method I explained in last month’s article uses live fish.  In this month’s article, I’ll focus on

What is a Poser

Yesterday, I met a "goth" model that...well Id never thought Id say this but, was probably a poser.
I dont like using the term poser.  Some people may seem "fake" but if that is who they are, then they arent posing as anything.

Anyway, he came up to us (a group consisting of me and some co workers) complaining about his work and about how he had to stand with the sun beaming on him for hours and only got 20 minute breaks with his hour lunch.  Even worse, he had to stay at his photo shoots for up to 8 hours including his hour lunch!

*gasp*

Of course this pissed me off.  I run around a hot fryer, get 15 minute breaks, and, even though we are entitled to an hour, I only get 30 minute lunches because were so poorly staffed in the deli.  Im at work a total of 9 hours most days but have gone up to 10.

We were talking about bands.  I told him the only real goth bands I cared for were The Cure and Bauhaus.  He didnt consider these goth and told me how much he didnt like them.

whether you like it or not, it is goth.  that is like me saying strawberries arent food because I dont like them


blah blah blah kid youre probably a poser and just pretending to look cool in front of us....a bunch of people that couldnt care less.

Truth: real goths listen to whatever they like.  He didnt like anything that wasnt labeled goth.  I see more goths in jeans and a band shirt than I see goths in black.  Yes...not all goths dress in black.
So what am I then?  Well sometimes I dress like this

sometimes like this

and this

and this

but its usually all smashed together.

Is it original?  Probably not.  I guarantee someone out there is exactly like me.  But who cares?  Its what we like.

as far as music...rock, classical, and electronic are my basic three.  Am I a goth?  Probably not.  I have stopped trying to pin a label on myself yeeaaarrsss ago.  It was much too hard.

Back on topic...this guy could have very much been a poser or could have truly been a strangely passive aggressive my way or the highway goth type thing.  I dont know!
