Winter has certainly slowed things down for us, that has detered us though from planting some winter vegetables.

Aquaponics

Last week we planted some bok choi, chinese cabbage and spinach into our system. The week has seen them go a little bit yellow, I will have to add some chelated iron to my system.

I had made a solids lifiting overflow for my second system, just between you and me I've stuffed it up.

The overflow needs a 'tee' piece in it to break the venturi effect, I mistakenly thought it would be part of the sump pump. Never mind I'll just start over and this time I'll get it right.

Our Dirt Garden

After being inspired by a friends garden we've planted a heap for vegetables and herbs.

So now we have broccoli, cabbages, cauliflowers, chillies, eggplant, onions, sweet corn, tomatoes and zucchinnis growing.

I would like to plant more but we just don't have the room for anything else.
