Picked up a commercial aquaponic system last week & now need to work out how to fit it into the yard :/ Am fairly sure that our existing system will be off to my parents & then we can get into setting up the new system here..
Am really looking forward to planing & building this system.. Am hoping to still include some Dutch buckets & DWC beds too :)
Decided to harvest the sweet potato from the aquaponics this week.. Also had a bit of a surprise when I was following the vine that had grown over the side of the system :)
Had a bit of a think about the Plan we had for the garden & have decided to make a few changes....
The 2 lime trees are going to stay put for now... On Saturday they both got a bit of TLC in the form of citrus food, a top up of a soil blend made with our own Chook compost & a good pruning... The Kaffir had some infected branches clipped off & the Tahitian bed had the Lemongrass clump removed....We will give them another season & shall see how they go....
As a result of keeping the limes where they are, we now need to find new homes for the Turmeric, Ginger & Galangal.... As these plants have nice looking foliage, we have decided to put them in barrels at the base of the back stairs or somewhere in the yard !!
Spice Bed.
As the spice plants no longer need a wicking bed their old one shall be dismantled, moved to the left 6 feet & reassembled..... I really want to get stuck into pulling this bed down just to see what sort of damage the roots from the surrounding trees have done.... It was the first Wicking bed I had built so a few mistakes were made & I was never really happy with it from the start.... The Puppy loo will have to be moved but thats easy enough....
While we were having a look at our options for moving the bed, we also came up with an idea for the Chooks yard..... We shall be leaving them with their little Mango yard & fencing off another section around to where the Galangal bed was.... These areas will be used alternately with one being planted out with green Chook food while they demolish the other.... They will only be let out in the whole yard again once all the holes they have dug for dust baths get covered with grass....
Bed #1
A few other little jobbies were done yesterday as well.... The Strawberries from Bed #1 were potted up ready to be offered to who ever wants them.... We also got a nice little Mignonette lettuce form this bed....It is sitting with its roots in a jar on the kitchen bed ready for dinner tonight.... A few couple of old Broccoli & cabbage plants that were only growing as foliage plants for the Chooks were removed, then bits of the bed were turned & then topped up with some soil/Compost mix...... Into this bed B? planted 3 Black Jack Zucchinis...
Pumpkin Bed
The Pumpkin Bed was finished on Saturday & planted out with 2 x Butternut seedlings & 2 lots of Golden Nugget Pumpkin Seeds....
Bed #4
Bed #4 also got a good turning & top up with some soil mix..... It was planted out with a few rows of Brown Beauty Bush Bean seeds... The Zucchini in this bed is going great guns, giving us 1 fruit every 3 or so days...
Bay, Strawberries & Napoleons Hat..
B?s poor old Bay tree also got some TLC.... It was planted out into a large terracotta pot at the bottom of the stairs... Looks happier already... I have also been informed that the area under the stairs will be getting a makeover.... Apparently, I shall be removing the pavers & Concreting the area... **Sigh** Must come up with a better idea than that to trump the B? me thinks....
Just an update shot from the Carrot/Lettuce bed.....
I assure you that if you click on the image it looks a lot more impressive!! Maybe....
Nothing like hundreds of baby sprouts to bring a smile to your face... : )»
I honestly think that we could use just this one point- this one topic- as a litmus test for humanity. The complete absurdity of the "Climate Change" rhetoric and agendas is so completely asinine, in that THEIR OWN STATEMENTS contradict themselves- this is the perfect barometer to look at whether people have any chance of shaking the mind numbing koolaid out of their brains and actually use them to logically deduce the bullshit that the "Climate Change" Schtic is.
- "its Global Warming"
- "Its Global Cooling"
- "Its CO2 Emissions"
- "Its over population"
- "Its rising sea levels"
- "its falling sea levels"
- "Its melting arctic Ice"
- "Its Antarctica freezing over"
Mean While, they ("THEY") are also telling the people that the ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM is going through "Climate Change".
Mean While, they ("THEY") are also telling the world that their countries population growth has radically dropped and they will not be able to support themselves in the next 50 years because they dont have enough people to carry on "Population" growth"
Mean While, they ("THEY") talk about "Carbon Credits" and "more "Climate taxes", that enrich the Corporations, and punish the poor.
Mean While, they ("THEY") LIE to the world about EVERYTHING and Cover their asses with more lies and propaganda.
..... If People can not see through this "Climate Change" propaganda- When all the pieces have been put out there, THROUGH the main stream media even,..... if people cannot SEE through these LIES, and at the very least ASK QUESTIONS...... then this really is the ultimate litmus test for the mass of Humanity, and whether or not they have any ability to "wake up" and smell the Coffee.
Is the Climate Changing? Yes it is. that is a FACT. But NO ONE is talking about the real reason WHY.
.... Stars suddenly changing their orbits? Sun changing its pathway across our sky? Sun Rising in the wrong spot and rising early in the Arctic Regions? Winds have changed their directions? Radical changes in global temperatures? Flooding? Droughts? Earthquakes? Volcanoes? New Islands appearing? ....... Really?
The Inuit have been trying to warn the worlds governments and "agencies" for a long time. So have many Indigenous groups all over the world...... Yet not a single Government or Agency will even talk about it. WHY?
.... Because they cant do anything to change the tilt of our planet, so they cant "sell" any taxes to the people, nor keep control of a situation that they cannot possibly control. So they LIE. ...... But they cant even keep their lies straight any more as every bit of evidence of "global warming" has fallen to pieces. and now, "They" have even corrupted the original messages by the Inuit Elders- forcing them to change their tune to "global warming" being the cause......
..... and when government make it "Illegal" to question their "Global Warming" & "Climate Change" propaganda, it becomes a beacon, shining a spot light on their FEAR, that you will SEE and COMPREHEND the fact that they are LYING to you. DO you SEE?

The plan by climate alarmists to have other scientists imprisoned for their ‘global warming’ skepticism is backfiring horribly, and the chief alarmist is now facing a House investigation into what has been called “the largest science scandal in US history.”
New Orleans and Miami will be UNDER WATER within the next century as rising sea levels put more than 400 US cities past the point of no return, new study claims
Half the land mass of 414 towns and cities will eventually be underwater, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found in a study
New Orleans stands to be the worst-affected, with 98 percent of populated land in New Orleans to be below the future sea level
Miami will also be hard-hit due its flatness and limestone foundation
After Florida, the next three most affected states are California, Louisiana and New York
Extreme carbon cuts and switching to renewable energy could save millions of people, researchers said
Scientists: Genetically Modified Humans Can Fight Climate Change

It was just a matter of time before Eugenics met Climate Change. Even if it sounds like science fiction and absurd speculation, the discussion is taking place now in scientific circles.
