I’ve put together a three bottle system for my daughter’s room that uses an aquarium we already had as the reservoir. For the actual farm as complete, I used under $25 worth of new parts…

I decided this time around to build an aquaponic window farm. I wanted to put my reservoir to good use, and also had an extra fish tank around. I decided to use the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) river system (FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrient_film_technique) to accomplish this. This system has so many advantages!

What a nice addition, and it probably won’t get too large in a WF anyway …
This plant is now 7,5 weeks old, and it’s a whopping 75cm high.

New plants in the farm!
So we had a little problem. Our strawberries died. I’m not sure what happened, but we could never make them happy. So after changing out the old plants with new ones and doing some changes, everything is growing well. We are growing mint, peppers, and nasturtiums.
Check out our last posting that [...]
