diy aquaponics for beginners | Aquaponics Tips Too High Water In Growbed

diy aquaponics for beginners

What will happen if you have too high water level in the growbed?

Initially high water level will cause higher evaporation and water will be use more due to this. To ensure this dont happen it is recommended that the water level is at least 1 inch below the hydroton or media level.

Above photo the water level is about 1 inch below the hydroton and it is just nice for most setup.

What else could happen?

Algae and some time moss will grow, moss could turn into fern in some cases. Algae and mosses will compete with plants for nutrient and it also will make the growbed looks dirty as below.

As a general rule 1 inch water below the media is acceptable, this is the DryZone of an aquaponics growbed. This DryZone can be thicker depending on type of plants grown.

A siphon with adjustable standpipe height is helpful in ensuring this water level is easily achieved.

diy aquaponics for profit

Kuchai or Garlic Chives that I planted just outgrowing their usage for a typical family of five. Time to take drastic measures to reduce their footprint in the growbed. I decide to make two pots into one and recover one growbed for other plants.

Four pots is all that is needed and I have close to forty, Ill leave few pots in the #guttergrowbed and few more in the CRAFTS set.

Take out all the chives from the back yard set and redo them to lesser pots, half in number and I manage to get one growbed to use again.

Tomorrow Ill cut all the chive to let them have a fresh start. There will be few kilos of this stuff to give away.

Yes.., one spare growbed for other plants.
