So here is an update of what an aquaponics system can achieve in just one week time. The mint bush is conquering half of the bed, again. So I will trim it today or tomorrow. Sunday, 3 March 2013.

Tuesday, 17 June 2014. This is the May and June update of my small aquaponics system. I removed most of the unproductive plants and change the growing media into lightweight expanded clay-ball. One of the grow bed started to clog, and it is time for me to get into some business. There are lot of things to be told, but let the pictures tell the story. The roots look very healthy.

With the help of internet information I hope to do this in my own special way and to influence others to get into this style gardening as well. Thursday, July 9, 2015. Baby chicks have hatched! The chicks are blooming! It started this morning. I heard some peeping in a nook of the house where a chicken has been sitting on about 20 eggs! I got a picture of the singers before I ran away from the mid day heat of two little Black and Tan ones. The yellow one was already back under mama hen. Hope all is well .
