zrumplina diy aquaponics | Lemon Grass in Container Flood Drain

zrumplina diy aquaponics

Serai or Lemon Grass is a common herb to most home gardener even in temperate countries where they would grow these indoor during the winter months and take it out in the spring. I did grow these in my growbed before back in 2010 or so but it just got wild and difficult to contain within my growbed.

This time I want to do it differently by using the slotted orchid pots, hopefully it can be "tamed" to within the confinement of the pot. Got myself few stalk of lemon grass which is easy to get and just let it stand in a bowl of water for couple of hour or so.

Since Im doing it Aquaponics, a couple of hours is sufficient and dont need to wait for roots to form like when you are doing it with dirt.

Three pots and using some surplus hydroton and pebbles mixed as grow media I prepared six stalk for planting.

Two in each pot, just in case one didnt make it. But it is highly unlikely for this not to grow. Over here this is easily grown anywhere.

Placed the pots in the growbed and just wait. Ideally for this plant it is best to get a larger pot like twelve inches across, those pots is only six. Ill get a bigger pots once these shown good progress, on average Asian household we probably can make do with two pots of these for our daily cooking needs.

diy aquaponics aquarium | Slotted Pots For Potted Flood Drain Aquaponics

diy aquaponics aquarium

Starting to do more of this potted flood & drain style of aquaponics since it is very convenience and use less LECA. There are pros and cons for doing it this style, however for smaller plants it is ideal and could be one of the best way to do it.

Slotted pots, not sure whether it is a net pot or not but its look good for what I going to use it for. At Rm 2.50 each,  they have slots that is better at draining away water and root growth.

Update : Just found out that these pots is for Orchid plants, so they are Orchid Pots.

Six inches across with no other sizes available from nurseries at Selangor Green Lane, for what I am doing it is sufficient.

Compare to the normal plastic pots, these has more holes and it is just nice for LECA since the slots are narrow but many it will give good drainage.

Just nice for LECA

These are not recommended for large plants, most leafy greens is okay.

Doing one Strawberry since yesterdays almost all I had redo to pots. Ill use this for future potted flood & drain style aquaponics.

Now just wait for these to grow.

diy small indoor aquaponics system | Gutter Growbed Pots Levelling

diy small indoor aquaponics system

The gutter growbed that I finished making last weekend has one problem, the pots didnt fit properly due the contour of the gutter is not uniform in its shape. Pots will tumble since it doesnt have a stable flat bottom to rest.

I was contemplating to use a 4x4 tile making a stable platform for the pots, however this may be heavy, expensive and displaces water volume.

After much trial, I figure that round tubes that I use for plants support is of right diameter to get the correct height and if I lay them side by side in the gutter they will make a raised platform for pots to sit.

It work ! Five tubes can be place in the gutter making a raised platform and the pots is stable on it. Since its a hollow tube, it doesnt displace much water volume and light in weight. I could drill holes making it even lighter and helps water circulation at the same time.

These tube were from my staking sets, Ill need to buy new ones and cut to correct length.

There you go, a very cheap and simple solution for a problem that I was facing ever since contemplating to make this set.

Cheers.
