This is an update video about my aquaponic based system using a Harbor Freight 10×12 greenhouse. I am still amazed how well most of the plants will grow in it. For more info, please visit: www.BigelowBrook.com http www.Facebook.com

just found your video. I’m interested in your valve system and feeder. I will have to check yourother videos. have you considered adding some alge eating fish?
The air stays nice under the canopy of tomatoes and cukes. The plants never wilt under the heat since they are always in the the moist media. You don’t want to see the garden…unless you like wilted plants and weeds! 😉
Nice update. A little eerie at the end there with the music. Are those gold fish or carp? Would be nice to see the outside garden. What did the greenhouse temp spike to with this current heatwave?
Not sure what the difference is between our systems but my bell peppers have so many peppers on them I had to tie the up to support the weight. I can’t eat them fast enough.
The fish food is dirt cheap and easy to use. Many people use other sources of food such as worms, maggots (fed from meat scraps), or even human pee (commonly called peePonics). I’ll probably spend about $8-10 in fish feed for the summer.
i know! looks like a weed right?

WOW, I had no idea. I bought some lettuce seeds a while back and was wondering where they come from.
Thanks for the info. Your videos are appreciated around the globe.

I bet you could use turtles! I know a few people that put a turtle in their tanks and they started to eat the fish. 😉
