Tilapia bread coming soon!

In a new study, researchers looked into fish-waste flour as an additive to bread for the nutritional and environmental benefits. 70% of the live weight of a tilapia is wasted during harvest. Fish-waste flour could put this unutilized scrap to good use.

Aquaponic farmers, do yourself a favor and buy a good water test kit! The API Freshwater Master Test Kit is my favorite and can last most residential farmers at least a year and is affordable at about $25. Here are my results from today. All three tanks testing at:

pH: neutral
Ammonia: practically zero
Nitrate: 100 PPM

Excellent profile!

So PROUD of my kids this Summer!! Jan Lloyd Simon, Michael Raqueno, and Mika Badillo worked hard on this video about how to mitigate risks of Rat Lugworm (A. Cantonensis) in residential aquaponic and soil gardens. Rat Lungworm is a BIG issue here in Hawaii organic Farming. We use simple ways to extract slugs and keep them out of our garden. Please enjoy the video and drop us some comments! Like our page, we are very close to 1,000 followers!

Thanks for your time, grow and eat safely!

This is a video by two Lanai High Sophomore students about residential aquaponic systems and mitigation of A. Cantonensis in home gardening in both soil and soil-less…

Summer is winding down here in Hawaii. The days are noticeably shorter and soon will be getting cooler. We will be trying out growing decorative flowers in our beds for a while. Bought about 20 different varieties to try out. Marigolds grow very easily in the aquaponic systems, now we'll try carnations, impatiens, wildflower varieties, and more. Will report back as plants come up and bloom.

Special thanks to Jomel, Mark Key, Christian Jay, and JanLloyd for your help starting out this productive summer by cleaning out all of the cinder. Not a glamorous job but necessary on a yearly basis to keep things flowing. I hope we have room for all these Ninth Graders in out STEMWorks program for Summer 2018.

Major props to my Summer Intern Jomel Etrata! Attached are photos of the aquaponic system at school that he's taken from dead and unproductive to thriving and producing lots of food for his family! Good on you Jomel! He will be mentoring teachers next year at school on proper aquaponic techniques. It's kids like him that make mentoring High School students a real pleasure for me! Keep up the good work Jomel!

Here are some drone photos of my aquaponic set up at home. As long as you have 4 hours of good sun a day, water, and electricity you can grow just about anywhere.

Aloha friends,
I am looking for an architectural intern for the summer. The potential candidate needs to be a high school student at Lanai High School from freshman to senior class. The internship is a paid position and much of it is self-study with an actual small project. You will learn about 3-D computer modeling, hand drafting and artistic sketching. The internship will also involve webinars with other Maui County students. Pay is about $1000 or about nine dollars an hour. If you are interested or have someone in mind please contact me as soon as possible via Facebook.
Thanks,
Charlie

Winter time is pleasant here in Lana'i City. Cool temperatures, mild sun and quite a bit of rain too. Here are photos of my aquaponic winter garden today. 10 years of growing in aquaponic systems. It never gets boring.

Tilapia Warning

Grow your own tilapia, control what you eat!

Is eating farm-raised tilapia and other fish from China a health risk? Maybe, maybe not.

Thanks to the Women in STEM program in Maui. We have four interns helping with our farm and at our AP systems at school doing the maintenance and testing systems. The interns are learning a great deal also. Here interns Mark and Micah are testing our water quality and amending with crushed oyster shells to raise pH and mineral levels in water.

You Will Soon Die If You Keep On Eating This Kind Of Tilapia. Watch Out!

This is one of many good reasons to start growing your own food! Yes you can buy frozen Chinese tilapia in America for a fraction of the cost of home raised but what you end up eating is a completely different thing! We feed our fish s combination of trout food for protein (no chicken p**p) and fresh kang kong or ong choy (swamp cabbage)

In both Asia and America, tilapia is a type of fish that is loved by many. It is the most consumed fish because it can be bought at a pocket friendly price and can be acquired skinless and boneless. It also lacks that fishy taste and is easy to cook. But have you ever known …

Just looking over all the new likes on my page. There are Muslims and Jews, Buddhists and Christians all liking the same thing! God is great and thanks for your interest in aquaponics. It truly is a gift from God. Peace on Earth and Happy Thanksgiving!
