Hi Guys, just had my first look at the site. Looking good. When you enter into a topic/thread, is there anyway I can get the conversations to go from newest to oldest, rather than the current oldest to newest?thanks

Hi Janine,
a system can be equally expensive or inexpensive. If you are lucky and have a creative sense you can make a system out of almost anything. There are hundreds of examples on the Backyard Aquaponics forum (members systems.

The most expensive part of ours was the greenhouse, but we were aiming for a specific look and feel. Our system…[Read more]

we are in Adelaide and are having a go at the outback lime

Hello and welcome from down south

Hi Ravyk, we dry ours in the dehydrator. Sliced not to thick. The 2yr grandson loves them.

never tried freezing.

caterpillars mainly, snails go to the chooks. At 50 trout per season, we need to purchase feed.

we have made sausages using kangaroo meat and duck fat. Pork fat is not necessarily the only fat you can use. We didnt want the port fat over flavouring the kangaroo meat, duck fat was the next option.

you can have lots of fun making sausages. First time round, i think everyone breaks the casing at least once.

Hi Lollie3, i wouldnt normally plant carrot seedlings, they dont transplant very well. It is much better to use seed for any root vegetable as it doesnt take much to damage the root when transplanting. I planted corn last weekend and it is poking out of the ground today.

good luck

HG, we can pretty much grow anthing providing the conditions in the greenhouse are right for that veg. Growth is dependant upon the balance of the bacterias etc. if it is balanced then everything is fine.

Currently we dont have fish, too hot for trout, so we suppliment by using seasol and using wormwee spray etc. we try not to us chemicals as it…[Read more]

Hi Good Lifer,

sorry, it has been a year since our trip to Tassie, woow doesnt it go fast. We had a great time, started off in Hobart, did the Salamanka markets (cant remember how to spell) and low and behold we saw the Gourmet Farmer and his stall.

We had a hire car which was up graded to a 4wD on arrival as the car we ordered and paid for…[Read more]

please just be careful with wormwood, especially if you suffer any skin conditions. We had a single wormwood plant, both of us reacted badly just by touching it.

If you go to http://www.firstfroots.com.au they will be able to get you in contact with Moo View Dairy who do the buy shares in a dairy cow.

sorry, first time round i put in my log on page…..oops, no wonder it didnt work

just remember that the USA electricity supply is different to ours. Different powerpoint plugs and different voltage i think.

Hi Fish & Food, we purchased ours from this gentleman in Australia. Not sure if it works out to be more in money terms, but it was convenient for us at the time.

thanks everyone, we will certainly add your suggestions into the schedule. We dont actually go over until February so we still have time for planning

Thanks Guys,

for our holiday we will be staying 3 days in Hobart and 2 days in Swansea. (intending on going back for another week at a later date)

Intension is to spend a day touring down around Huonville, Port Huon and Geeveston. Would it be worth going out to Bruny island? and perhaps out Hamilton way.

Any suggestions on sites worth…[Read more]

We are heading over to Tassie in February for a weeks holiday. We have been looking at properties about an hour or two out of Hobart. But would be greatful of any suggested areas, as this will be the first time we have been over to Tasmania.
