sticky replied to Louise's discussion What's good on a raft?"Sweet, I came looking for the same thing. I just got done erecting some 4" pipes to use as a deep water culture. And i was curious was plants would be good in that short of set up. I have a bunch of lettuce plants ready to put it but i have 3…"
sticky replied to Bryan Bebout's discussion some varmit is eating my green bean plants"Would worm tea be effective against snail?"
sticky replied to Jennifer Dozar's discussion Peanuts?"I would wonder about over saturating the fruit. A constant exposure to water, even if you are using flood and drain, would seem to ruin peanuts. Couldn't say though, however i would suggest watching your pH. Peanuts are often planted to correct…"
Jeff Givan commented on Jeff Givan's group Ohio Aquaponics"Hi Jeff! We are in the process of building our greenhouse so I am not a complete expert here in Ohio. Plus, a lot of it depends on many different factors such as where your system is? Greenhouse, garage, basement or such. …"

Sheri Schmeckpeper commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"Hi, All!

John Malone commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"@Bob
I have a hatchery manual here that says:
"The breeders should be kept between 85 and 92 degrees F to achieve good breeding"
Here's a document from the Southern Regional Aquaculture Center about all things Tilapia.…"
Bob Wohl commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"@ Jim my temp is sitting at right about 81, it's in the shade (not the bed though). This brings up my question of "What is the max temp for these fish?" I'm curious and I would like to be pro-active so I don't…"
Samson J. Loo commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"Hey @Bob. Because of all the videos I have seen a majority shows 3/4" pvc so I have 3/4" material which I had from a previous raised bed project. It does sound like I need to upsize my piping. Luckily I haven't invested a lot in the…"
