diy aquaponics with fish

One of my Strawberry plant got Kutu Daun (aphid) and some ants are taking advantage of this tending to farm the aphid honey pots. If not treated it will weaken this plant and worst could cause virus or fungal infection. I had to get rid of it quick.

Isolate the plant from the rest and at first I try to get rid of the ants by using this ants bait that could eliminate the ants. But it dont seems to work, because they are busy harvesting those honey pots and show no interest to my bait.

For a quick action, decide to clip off two of the most affected leaves and discard them to kill majority of the aphids. The remaining leaves are not that bad, but I must do something to stop recurring.

Leaves cut and sprayed with organic pest repellent, if needed I can make do with soap solution. Since I had this spray at hand, just try it out first before proceeding to the next step.

I had to isolate this plant, to ensure those aphid dont fly off or hop off to nearest safe place and will just makes things worst. Luckily the plants are all in individual pots, which makes it easy to do this.

One of the growbed that was full of mint redo and clean all the roots out, this growbed going to be the next area where Strawberry going to be in.

All the mint were cut last week, today the roots are removed. If not removed they will decay and cause the system to swing towards acidic, it could be a good thing for Strawberry but I feel its best to start from a known baseline.

The single parent plant from this ornamental set is removed and potted, I takes my chances by cutting the runners from the parent and letting them grow on their own. I will know tomorrow how many survive being independent. Six in all, these are all new plants.

Potted the parent plant in 6 inch net pot and it will be replanted into a bigger growbed.

I scoop some LECA along with the roots so that it will experience less of a shock, topping up with LECA from matured growbed.

Growbed is flooded by using a taller extender, this makes it easier for getting out the roots and level the LECA.

This parent plant placed in a central position of this growbed so that it can start to colonized this entire growbed with runners. Im giving it ample space to reproduce.

The plant is raised from LECA level to give it good drainage, Ill monitor it closely this next couple of days to ensure it survive the replanting. I try not to give any shade and let it expose to full sun and see what happen.

So far this trial of planting Strawberry looks promising, until it can produce fruit only then well know whether it is successful or not.

That aphid infested plant has to be sacrifice to ensure situation contained. I decide to re-pot and trimmed all leaves from this plant.

The black aphid reappear, but the ants are no more around.

I had to cut all the leaves and get rid all this aphid, need to visit the local flower nursery to find more potent organic spray to ensure they dont reoccur.

They are even in the crown area.

Trimmed and re-pot and will monitor closely.

Hope this plant survived the ordeal.

To get healthy Strawberry plants they requires strong roots, to get this the plant need to direct most of  its energy toward root growth. During first year of planting dont let the plant fruit.

All these flowers need to go, and its best to clip them off at earlier stage that this.

Runners like these above also has to go.

So flower buds has to be clipped.

All clipped so that the plants can concentrate getting good roots.

Runners clip to prevent new plants, I reserve two original plants to produce runners for propagating. Those plants are the base stock for my Strawberry plants.

I will let the plants grow for this next few months towards January or March then Ill trim all leaves to get new growth.

diy aquaponics pdf

Since I am doing most of my planting in pots, these Kuchai plants is no exception. I had to put them in pots so that it can be easily contained and transplanted elsewhere if needed. I use those slotted pot which is great in water drainage and just nice for LECA.

Garlic Chives thrives in Aquaponics and its more than enough for a small family consumption on a 3ft x 2ft growbed. In fact 1 square feet is all that is needed for an average household. So decided to transplant these to individual pots later I can decide what to do with it.

As above photo they grow really well in LECA, and made it easy to redo this plant, all I had to do is gently pull out the clumps and they will all come out.

Root ball and all, can be easily lifted out of the growbed.

They have shallow root, so it is not that invasive to the siphon like mint of some other plants making this Garlic Chive ideal on a media based siphon flood and drain aquaponics growbed.

Put all in the slotted pot with some LECA at its base.

Some of the pots I put two clumps like photo above otherwise I would run out of pots.

Filled up with LECA and just wiggle a bit to give it a snug fit.. and all done.

Thats three pot awaiting to be placed in the growbed.

Smaller clumps I put two to a pot like these above.

These Chives multiply by rhizomes within few months it will spread outward from center making the clumps bigger. Few of these I planted from seeds and some from nursery bought plants.

All plants out, and it only takes about 30 minutes to do, since I am using pots the water level in the growbed were adjusted to a lower level.

Chives dont need thick growbed, six inches is more than enough.

Altogether 17 pots, the photo is a bit grainy due its getting dark.

I planted eight pot in the existing growbed and left with these nine pots to be place in the back lane CRAFTS set.

Nine left are placed in my back lane set
