wamponics

g'day we've just bought an aquaponic set up from murray -a 950 litre fishtank and two growbeds and its settling in ok - the veggies have been in for 6 days though they seem to struggle through the day in the heat - the pH needs to be lowered every day (just slightly) and how much seasol do you add every day?
we live on a couple of acres in wamuran - about 40 kms north of brisbane (up in the hills from caboolture) a little bit of paradise
- we have a permaculture set up in the garden as well as a rainforest section down the bottom

Hi Bill,
Give it a good glug of Seasol to start, then a CAP a day into the system.
This will help get the good bacteria going and provide some nutrient for the plants until the fish come along.

In the middle of the day it is not uncommon to have a bit of wilting of the leaves until the system settles in.

Welcome to the forum....:)

Why??... what's your pH reading??... and how much does it vary, over what period?
