Spring 2011 #1
Welcome to my Aquaponics Blog! I am Carel Hauptfleisch. Aquaponics crazy person. What is Aquaponics? It is an organic hydroponics system. Fish and plants living in harmony inside a recirculating system whereby the fish provide nutrients for the plants, and the plants remove nitrates from the water.

Spring is here and I have killed my fish!!
Spring is FINALLY here!!
A lot has been going on... Sorry for not posting for so long. Fact is that not much has been happening.
I managed to kill all my trout by sheer stupidity. Re-planted my DWC system with some tomatoes and basil. Also made a fishtrap with some success.. I further added a new growbed, and I introduced a few local bass to my system. Feeding them with "reject" koi from a local breeder. I still have some tilapia that made it through the winter. Planning on having a number of litters to feed the bass. Check out the pics..
Plants currently in the system:
* 1 tomato that survived the winter (doing very well)
* a bunch of new tomato,s different varieties
* cucumbers
* peas
* squash
* corn
* mango
* chilli
* paprika
* green peppers
* basil (two types)
* Thyme
* Parsley
* lemon Balm
* Oregano
Wow. Did not realise it was that much...
