Lunch

Am not a hardcore vegetarian nor an organic food supporter, I eat meat like there is no tomorrow; however, today my lunch is purely veggie and the veggie that I grow myself from my aquaponics sky farm... Organic? I have no idea.

There is a huge different between the veggies grown by others and myself... Like my dad used to say, his durian is the best in the area... It is purely chapperlang...

Sky Garden : The Papaya

Always wanna grow papaya trees on the roof...

Do we have bugs and Insects in the system?

Yes, of course! Why not?

Look at the picture...

For the time being, just let them be as they are part of the system...

Lunch for 2+2

Guess how much do you think we have spent for this?




Life can be:

...as simple as you want it to be; (well! it is just a meal)

...as complicated as it can be...(if you went thru our experience in growing those veggies)

Anyway, whatever it is...just try to have fun!!!

Aquaponics: The Cabbage

My favorite in the growbed, the cabbage. Looks like will have to wait for another 50 days for harvest.

It is time for us to stop working on the aquaponics system for now (of course have to keep growing) but focus more on improving our infra especially on power supply/sources. We have now additional solar panels, higher capacity power inverter and charge controller to be in placed to make the system more flexible and efficient.

Higher cost involved when comes to green power or environmental friendly...sometimes it is just a 'joke' of "from the left pocket to the right pocket" kinda thing but then, "A man got to do what a man got to do.. " ;)

...not to forget to mention that, there are tilapias and jade perch ready for consumption but i dont think we are in favor to have them on dining table as we are staying next to the coast where freshwater fishes are not our favorite...

Rain gutters, observed a slower growing rate for the setup. We have now 130 pots in the system and still in experimental stage. Maybe just need to wait for more bacteria to kick in...currently, we have amaranth greens, warer spinach, kai lan and spinach also not to forget the additional 'fish food'... For speeding up the growth and balance up the life cycle in the gutter, small fishes are added into the equation. 

Aquaponics: For Dinner

First harvest after few months of instability.

Sweet potato leaves...

Aquaponics: Let's Grow More

Alright. All up and running!

This is what we are testing on....Let's see the results and will surely share our experience and hope that, more people will join growing healthy veggies.

If in the future, when we tell you that we are selling veggies; we are actually selling the veggies we are eating.
