Straw Hat Aquaponics

Hi friends! This is part of the grant process for one that we are going for! Enjoy! #MRHgrants4plants

Goldfish tank test for small(maybe school) setups.. stay tuned for developments! Tom Bortz JP Knobloch Rick Evers

Floating rafts let us use our system as a food production line. Baby plants go in one end of our troughs and come out the other ready for harvest!

Thanks to everyone who supports us! Here's a clip of the "engine" of our Aquaponic System:

Some of our trough fishes, baby kale and Lemon basil(delicious)!

Our catfish stays busy by helping keep the fish tank clean!!

FISH! They know everyone is stuffed from turkey yesterday, so they are out and about...

Meatwad keeps me company while I water the plants! He's coming to checking out what I'm doing! @jp knobloch @tom Bortz @Tim Hydar

Here's the smallest system we use! Running great! Aquaponics can be done anywhere! Especially at home!

Here we go testing the troughs! Lights up, air in, but need more stones still. 128sf system, 1,000 gal fish tank big enough to expand! Ferguson Farmers Market is where we will be with the produce in a few weeks!

Fish tank full of water!

Check out our tank!! Here's a short video of it filled up!

5 week lettuce update

Hi all, this is a few days late, but check out our 5 week lettuce update. It's amazing how long these heads of lettuce stay fresh after harvest!!!

4 weeks after lettuce was harvested.

Time for the 4 week update. These butterhead and ridgeline heads of lettuce are still crisp and looks so green!!

3 weeks after harvest

Has it been 3 weeks already since harvest? Because it looks like 3 days!! And the best part of aquaponically grown lettuce is we can offer the same quality all year!!

Our lettuce stays fresh! Here's a video two weeks after harvest!
