Aquaponic Kale root growth - Week 6
With the heat-exchanger reworked (ok the part that got reworked last week is just an old truck radiator that was rearranged in proximity to a 24V fan for better airflow... But heat-exchanger just sounds much more geeksterishly impressive than "old truck radiator", doesn't it?), the heating water is now up to 80 degrees on a sunny day. That keeps things warmer at night... and the growie things appear to be liking that a whole lot.
Both leaf and root growth on this guy have nearly doubled in two weeks.

Your aquaponics sysem is very impressive. How much time a day, and what tasks must you do daily/weekly to keep it going..It looks as if it might be very labor intensive, and costly for the initial outlay.
Once it is “established” can you leave it unattended to go off for a few days or a week for a short vacation?
You should do an aquaponics thread/journal on FR..or maybe you already have on the weekly gardening thread. Thanx for sharing your impressive photo.
