Rain and Aquaponics
With all the rain lately all my lettace was flattened but suprisingly thats the only damage i sustained.
My entire backyard flooded again today and the water just glided under the growbeds and system. My in ground vegetables however were inundated and half the soil washed away. Heres a pic of a few months ago 2012, ive expanded the system again since then however it will give you an idea why aquaponics works for my backyard. (i havent taken any pics today- its raining too much)

100 Lt biofilter
1000 Lt IBC Silver Perch tank (65 fingerlings)

We've had some torrential rain but no floods like yours. Plants get knocked about but a few days later they are as happy as Larry.
