diy aquaponics with fish | Kutu Daun Aphid

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.

diy aquaponics greenhouse | Equatorial Lowland Strawberry Project Journal 11th Sept 2014

diy aquaponics greenhouse

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.

diy vertical aquaponics | Back lane CRAFTS set updates 11th Oct 2014

diy vertical aquaponics

Not doing much these last few months on the back lane set, finally after festive season temporarily over I am tiding it up for more planting.

The Garlic Chives that I redo from front to make way for the Strawberry doing great and I got twelve pots in this growbed with few more in another growbed. This is more that I need, two pots is all that is required and I may reduce to only six pots for my own use.

 Three Basil pots I redo into two using the slotted orchid pot, one I transfer another start new from cutting.

More Basil than I can handle, Tilapia will eat this.

Turmeric are very slow to shot, Ill change to slotted pots once they have sufficient root growth holding the LECA.

Above potted flood & drain will be redo to have more plants in it.

I must get more plants going to use up all the nitrate, tilapia are getting bigger and they produce more waste now as compare few months back.

Few seedlings growing and I must sow more, heavy rain causes damage to seedling and some seeds just dont germinate. Need to change the way I sow those seeds.

Three pots of Sambung Nyawa plants taken out from the growbed and giving it away.
