System is going online

[Keith Barkwood]

Today is a big step in my little aquaponics experiment.  After patiently getting my cycle running over the last two months. Then watching my fish in quarantine for a week.  The time has come to put it all together.  Presently I have Lavender, Lettuce, Spearmint, and Parsley growing in the bed with Oregano, Rosemary, Spinach, and Chamomile incubating in the seed tray. It was a bit of a challenge to get up to this point.  I had a wicked learning curve trying to figure out the peeponics thing.  See my "Member Systems Introductions" discussion titled THE STANK FARM if you have any interest in seeing what I went through.

Thus far this has been a great experiment.  Not only fun and exciting but rewarding as well.  Watching these little plants grow from nothing but a jar of my old piss is great. Now on to the big show. Do your magic fishies.

Congrats Keith! May your system produce abundantly and be void of further foul odor!
