Episode 8: WA's Great Gardens
Date: 28th November 2010
Presenter: Trevor Cochrane
Become a fan of garden aquaponics as Trevor features water-friendly systems that only uses about 10% of the water required for traditional gardening or aquaculture.
- You can grow virtually anything, all year round with aquaponic systems.
- They are especially great for green leafy vegetables, vine plants, grasses, wheat, barley and even paw-paw trees which can be grown in only 100mm of expanded clay.
- The cost of setup compared with long-term benefits is very reasonable, especially since any setup is completely portable.
- Hyrdoponic Xpress stock and recommend the Hydroton leading brand of expanded clay which is very porous, doesn't breakdown like cheap copies, is 100% recyclable and promotes essential healthy bacteria for any aquaponics system. Hydroton expanded clay is free from germs such as bacteria, funguses, ground pests and is used commercially and domestically worldwide.
- Suitable for any type of fish including ornamentals, however we suggest growing Barramundi or Silver Perch to harvest all year round. Grow and harvest healthy fish and vegetables any time.
- Grow beds are set up at an optimal height, to avoid back-breaking bending, that allows for easy maintenance and harvest. Having the grow beds at this height also eliminates virtually all weeds and soil-borne pests and diseases. It's a perfect height for both kids and adults and allows easy access for wheelchairs.
