aquaponics diy basic indoor setup | Dehydrator

aquaponics diy basic indoor setup

I purchased a Dehydrator, have wanted one for ages, as after reading up i think its a more preferred way to store dried food.
I was most interested in drying corn, carrots and strawberries which I loaded up on my 5 trays.
It went all night a total of 12 hours and its amazing how small it looks after its dried, the best of it is that all the nutrients are still there .
After drying some stuff I couldnt wait to try it, The Strawberries are like leathery to taste but flavor is awesome.
next a bowl of soup dropped the peas and carrots back into it and after about 3 mins you have perfectly good tasting veg,
Will be adding to my stored items with this new found skill, its a must have, smaller more compact packets and no additives.
Oh I forgot to mention I also got a vaccume sealer and bags to pack and store the things i dry.
Great resource for Dehydrating http://www.dehydrate2store.com/
and of course I got the Dehydrator and the vaccume sealer from my favorite place ebay.com

diy aquaponics chop | Solar Can Heater

diy aquaponics chop

This project I was originally going to start a while back, so I finally got it under way. I have seen these made with huge boxes placed outside homes, but i want mine in an apartment so I decided to mount it on one of the window panels in my conservatory.
by building it inside i dont have to supply the glass and can custom size it to the area i have.

Collect a whole bunch of soda cans and give them a good rinse out!

I have seen most people like to drill these cans with a big opening on top and small holes on bottom! why complicate it when a simple Tin opener can do the trick?

Tilt at angle and slice off top.

This actually gives a very smooth Finnish

Pull off ring tab from top

why drill holes? just use some tin snips or a very strong pair of scissors

cut from pull tab hole in a circular fan shape

finished cut will be fan shape across, this helps slow heat and cause a rotation as it transfers threw soda can

Use a clear silicon to seal the soda cans around neck collar

use something to keep cans aligned in a straight line while they set

I have got a window section that can fit 10 x rows of 6 cans.

This is as far as I got will post more as i continue

Eggplants above dont look healthy, these need urgent attention !! Transplant three of them into individual hydroton pots and place it in the growbed where the Sambung Nyawa are located.

Will see if they recover into healthy plants in a couple of weeks.

After the eggplants, Tomatoes that I transplant last week still has few more of same batch and just re-pot a few and the rest has to be wasted due to overcrowded.

DIY Aquaponics | Titbits 26th September 2014

DIY Aquaponics

Not much happening this last few days, just tidying up and get few plants reorganized to other growbeds. Kuchai (Garlic Chives) plants has to make way for the Strawberry project experiment, and all pots has to be placed in the back part of the house.

Harvest all Kuchai and remove the pot from this growbed. Quite a lot of Kuchai and gave it away to neighbors.

The Ornamental set metal stand is ready and I am testing it out before making more to sell.

Unfortunately the pots are from different manufacturer, hence the color difference. Oh well it still function same and Ill wet run this for another couple of months then let one set as a test piece and permanently get it going to see if any problem arise after prolong usage.

The strawberry plants still producing runners, I clipped most of it to let plants grow stronger. There are still a few that I let grow into plants and use it for new growbeds. Ill replace those older plants that originally obtained from Cameron Highland.

The older Strawberry plants never stop flowering, most of it I clipped too. Only one or two were left to develop into berry.

This one fruit that I let grow, okay its not as big but at least it a good sign that we can have strawberry in the Equatorial lowland.

Thats about it today, still a lot more to do getting the setup organized and tidy.
